I tried to open my bashrc and tried to provide an alias for eclipse like 

alias eclipse='bash /usr/local/softy/eclipse/eclipse'

But I get the following error when I try to invoke eclipse.

/usr/local/softy/eclipse/eclipse: /usr/local/softy/eclipse/eclipse: cannot execute binary file

Its permission is

-rwxr-xr-x 1 messagebus users 71023 Feb  8  2012 /usr/local/softy/eclipse/eclipse

And I am able to open it directly from terminal like /usr/local/softy/eclipse/eclipse

How should I correct it?

  • Could you add the output of ls -l /usr/local/softy/eclipse/eclipse? Also does it work running /usr/local/softy/eclipse/eclipse directly in terminal. – user.dz Jan 18 '14 at 16:16
  • @Sneetsher I have edited the query. Have included what you asked. – Prasanna Jan 19 '14 at 01:27

Remove 'bash' and make direct call:

alias eclipse='/usr/local/softy/eclipse/eclipse'

If there are other tools in that folder, You may want to add that folder directly to system PATH:

PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/softy/eclipse
user.dz
