'Target selection failed' when try to debug [message #219294]

I am a newcomer with eclipse.
I am working with Suse Linux 10.1 and
Eclipse 3.2, just updated
CDT 3.1.1

I try to debug a C-program (not C++) which principally is running without
error messages but the results are wrong. The code contains outputs to
stderr like
fprintf(stderr, ...)
I suppose these statements as the source of the problem.

For installation of Eclipse and CDT I followed the tutorial of Brian Lee
(www.cs.umanitoba.ca/~eclipse) and tried his example for debugging with my
program.
The tutorial asks to click on Window -> customize perspective from the
debug perspective. Then there should be a branch 'other' with a selection
'C/C++ debug' in it.

In my eclipse there is no such branch at all. But there is a possible
selection 'C++' which I selected!
When I am starting debugging by clicking on 'Debug' a small window with
title 'Launching' and the message 'Target selection failed' appears. The
details tell me '/dev/ttyS0: keine Berechtigung (english: no rights)'.
Trying to do the same things as root has the same results, but the details
now tell me '/dev/ttyS0: input/output error'.

I have no idea how to cure the problem. Can somebody help me?

Hi. I think you'll have more luck in the eclipse.tools.cdt. Also, you
might try downloading the just-released 3.3 version. I believe there
have been substantial improvements in the C development area in 3.3.
Hope this helps. Mark Dexter
