| Install CDT2.0M6 as root, no run as user [message #93081] |

Under SuSE 8.2 on a PC, I installed Eclipse 3.0M6-gtk from zip file as
root into /usr/local/eclipse. Eclipse works fine as either root or user tom.
Next, running Eclipse as root, used the automated download/install link
for CDT 2.0M6. Running as root, CDT works fine. But running as user tom,
I can't get at the CDT.
I tried a couple variations. I said yes to the "restart now" option as
root. At that point, user tom running Manage Configuration can see the
managed-make and standard-make updates, but can't install them because
they depend on CDT-core -- which is nowhere to be found (but root can
see it!).
Reinstalled everything from scratch, and tried saying no to "restart
now" after CDT download. Now user tom doesn't see any sign of the new
update. Restarted Eclipse as root and did the install from Manage
Configuration, so CDT now works for root. Back to user tom, still no
joy. Tried to update user tom, update site says everything's up to date!
I've made sure there's nothing lurking in tom's working directory that's
owned by root. So I'm guessing I've got the opposite problem: Something
in /usr/local needs to be writable by tom to do the install.
This is my home PC and I'm the only user, so installing Eclipse as tom
in my own home directory will doubtless work. But /usr/local, owned by
root, would be the right way to do this in a large multi-user
environment (right?), which I hope I'll be doing one day soon. So any
advice or expressions of sympathy on that subject will be welcome!

I had the same problem :-)
I do not know the answer, but my workaround was to change the owner of all
the files under /usr/local/eclipse to my local user. Doing that made the
CDT appear for both root and my local user.
Why? I do not know :-) So if anyone could give a correct answer an
solution it would be nice.
