When entering a (valid) address by hand or by right clocking on a pointer variable & selecting View Memory, I get:

Unable to load memory from specified address: 0x....

I'm running on 64-bit Linux (RHEL 6.1) w/ the vanilla Helios CDT linux 64 build (eclipse-linuxtools-helios-SR2-incubation-linux-gtk-x86_64)

Version: Helios Service Release 2
Build id: 20110218-0911

I am able to display memory in the gdb command console window. The gdb-traces console isn't any help (nothing shows up when I add the memory monitor).

Does this sound familiar?
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=309222
EDIT:
I think that is rather https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=309576
I encountered the same buggy behavior on my machine (Ubuntu, gdb 7.2, Eclipse Indigo) for 64 bit executables.

Yes. I'm also running gdb 7.2. And it definitely is a 64-bit limitation:

I can get a memory monitor display for addresses <= 0xffff_ffff (with errors in gdb trace since the random address is invalid).
Above 0xffff_ffff I get the "Unable to load memory from specified address: 0x...." error (with nothing in gdb trace).

Guess it's command line gdb for now.

You can always use the gdb console inside Eclipse to display memory addresses (not very convenient but better than nothing).
