CTags not found or in path? Which path? [message #154948]

Hi,

I have exuberant-ctags in my /usr/bin. My cdt always complain about
CTags not found on path or not installed.

I do not specify the binary explicitly but use default in the indexer
settings.

What path is it looking for? Any ideas?

Alwyn,

if you start a command shell on your system, type "ctags" and it works then
it should work from eclipse, too. Eclipse also just starts a new shell and,
when no path is given, calls ctags without explicit path. The "path" is
simply the standard command search path.
Can you confirm this?

Hi Norbert,

ctags yield command not found. Maybe what I need is a link between
ctags and exuberant-ctags...

Make sure that 'which ctags' yields you the exuberant one, and restart
Eclipse.

Something new I've noticed is that when the ctags file gets very big, I
get a NegativeArrayException whenever I ask for a completion. Deleting
the file, fixes it till next time...
