Eclipse works just as well in Linux as it does in Windows. The error you are getting can have several manifestations, try pulling any third-party .jars out of your project and start Eclipse using the -clean switch.
Building from command-line works as well, you can write a build script in ANT or make, and produce an APK just the same as Eclipse.
