Forgive me folks, if this is a Really Dumb Question, but until about this
time yesterday I thought the word 'eclipse' referred to when the Moon
Goddess swallowed Father Sun, portending great ill throught the land.

Anyway, I just installed eclipse-SDK-20020321-linux-gtk1x.zip and
cdt-eclipse-R1.0.zip. I go to /usr/local/eclipse where all this stuff is
installed and pound in './eclipse'. Pretty blue splash followed by a
screen with lots of windows. Great. Creating folders, etc., per the
tutorial, works. Also great. But now how do I tell it I want to create,
build, and run hello.c? None of the various buttons refer to a C/C++
environment -- lots about Java and other stuff, but nothing about C.

What am I balling up?

If the CDT has been installed correctly, you should be able to do the
following in order to create a new C/C++ Project:

1) Go to the Workspace Menu, "File" -> New -> Other
2) A wizard should come up that allows you to choose a type of project to
create. "C/C++" should be on that list.

If you aren't able to see C/C++, then it would appear that the CDT wasn't
installed correctly. Let me know what happens.

No C/C++: I get

+ Java
Plug-In Development
Simple


For installation, I cd-ed to /usr/local and unzipped eclipse-*.zip, then
I unzipped cdt-*.zip in a tmp directory and ran install-cdt, pointing it
to
/usr/local/eclipse/plugins. All the org.eclipse.cdt.* dirs show up in
/usr/local/eclipse/plugins.

Thanks,

Someone just pointed out to me that you're mixing two things that should not be
mixed. You're using R2 Eclipse with R1 CDT which isn't supported. So you
should either use an R1 Eclipse or an R2 CDT. By the way, from what I've seen,
the current GTK Eclipse versions are not very stable and might cause problems in
the UI (although I admit it looks better than Motif).
