[platform-dev] Re: linux installation of Eclipse

[Marco Murciano <peluquero80@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
which directory, to you, is the most suitable to perform a linux 
installation?
I tried to install the package by only copying under /usr/local 
directory but I could not access it as my default non-root user.
The next step I tried to perform is the creation of a bash script, in 
wich I launch eclipse login script by changing my present working 
directory and then calling straightly eclipse.Then I return to the 
previous directory I were into.
The scripts is something like this:

curdir=$(pwd)
cd /usr/local/eclipse
./eclipse &
cd $curdir

That works but, if I try to open under any other account, including 
root, the current workspace shown is the same I saved in the session of 
my primary account. Is that a correct behavior of the platform or should 
I modify my option? and how?
Anyone can help me by telling where should I have to put the package 
since I have a Slackware Distribution (ver 10.0).
Thanks to all,

Marco
