Looks like it is complaining about the version of GTK you have installed on 
your box. GTK is required by SWT which Eclipse uses to draw windows. I 
remember reading about this on this list before, but can't remember how (and 
if) it was resolved.

Since you run RedHat 9, which is already a bit older, I would guess you either 
need to upgrade the GTK version on your system or migrate to a newer OS 
version.
