Hello,

I've been trying to install Linux tools through Eclipse update manager,
but am unfortunately getting an error. Following is the error I'm getting:

Network connection problems encountered during search.
Unable to access
"http://download.eclipse.org/technology/linuxtools/update".
Unable to access site:

I'm running Eclipse 3.4.1 on Ubuntu 8.04.

I'll really appreciate any help.

Are you perhaps behind a proxy or something? This works for me. You
can verify by appending a content.jar to the above and seeing if you can
access it in a browser.

Andrew,

Thanks for your response. I'm probably behind a proxy server. However,
when I append content.jar to the address and try to access that through a
web browser, it allows me to download the jar file. So I don't know why it
wouldn't work with Eclipse update manager.

I'll appreciate any suggestions you may have.

Thanks!

My only suggestion is to look at the Eclipse proxy settings as p2 (the
update manager) uses them.

If you can't get the update manager working, just download the zip [1]
and use _it_ as input to the update manager. See:

http://wiki.eclipse.org/Linux_Tools_Project/User_Guide#Insta llation

Good luck,

Andrew

I was finally able to use the update manager to install the linux tools.
In order to make that work, I had to run eclipse as the super-user.
Unfortunately, when I use the OProfile, I don't get any output. Instead, I
get an error:

***************************************
FATAL: An error occurred with opxml.
Reason: The opxml binary cannot be read or executed. Either your user does
not have sufficient permissions, or the install script was not run.
...
***************************************

I'm not able to find the opxml binary, although I did install OProfile
using install-noconsolehelper.sh.

That doesn't make any sense if you extracted eclipse from an eclipse.org
download into some directory in your home directory.

consolehelper isn't a Debian thing AFAIK. Kent will be able to provide
more guidance here.
