Eclipse IDE Birth Report file not running

deostroll

I've created a birt report using the eclipse ide, and tested it on eclipse too. I am able to view the report in the eclipse birt viewer.

However, I've downloaded the reportengine example from the site. There is a ms-dos batch file (genReport.bat) which generates a report from the rptdesign file. There are also samples included in the example (like hello_world.rptdesign). I am able to execute the samples. I get the corresponding html file as output.

However on running those reports I've created from the eclipse ide fail to work...here is a strace trace I've copied out from my command prompt directly:

Hi deostroll,<br />
<br />
The error seems to indicate that the BIRT Runtime you are using is not the same version of BIRT Report Designer you are using.<br />
You can download the latest BIRT Runtime from <br />
