Bryan,

It might be better to ask on the CDT newsgroup. You might want to
search it for previous questions like this. Use the "Search this group"
box in:

http://www.eclipse.org/newsportal/thread.php?group=eclipse.t ools.cdt

I find that when I unzip I have to do chmod +x on the *.exe and *.dll in
the installation, so it might well be the case that your problems are
caused by the unzip utility you are using...
