Launching Debug Session takes forever [message #512412]

I have recently installed Eclipse CDT Version: 3.5.1.R35x_v20090910-9gEeG1_FthkNDSP2odXdThaOu9GFDPn83DGB7
Build id: M20090917-0800.
This is on a new Linux install. I have seen this problem before but can't remember what the fix was. Trouble is launching debugging is taking about 30 seconds ! This is obviously killing my testings on a project. Apologies if this has been fixed elsewhere but an initial search didn't help. Any ideas welcome..

@Alex Mueller: I did search first but obviously not in the right place as I couldn't find a fix. If you know where there is one you could let me know.

@joex26 : Thanks for the information and links - I have downloaded the nightly build named cdt-master-7.0.0-I201002050813.zip. This fails with the following errors:
------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------------------

Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.
  Software being installed: Eclipse C/C++ Remote Launch 6.0.0.201002050813 (org.eclipse.cdt.launch.remote.feature.group 6.0.0.201002050813)
  Missing requirement: Eclipse C/C++ Remote Launch 6.0.0.201002050813 (org.eclipse.cdt.launch.remote.feature.group 6.0.0.201002050813) requires 'org.eclipse.rse.ui [3.0.0,4.0.0)' but it could not be found

------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------------------------------------------------
I have suffered similar (but different) errors when trying to install Pydev. This is begging to really bug me as I have installed various versions of eclipse and add ons through the years - although I am by no means an expert - and never have had these errors ! Any suggestions are more than welcome.
Thanks,
BgEddy

You have to enable the update site for "Target Management". Eclipse should then find the Remote launcher.

I had the same problem, and found that CDT 6.0.2 (not 6.0.0.2...) solved the problem.

You can get 6.0.2 from here:

http://download.eclipse.org/tools/cdt/builds/6.0.2/index.htm l

(I used the RC1, which seems to work OK).

@Alex: Thanks again Alex for your reply. At the risk of appearing somewhat stupid I must admit your last advice stumped me. Where and how do I enable the update site for "Target Management" ?

@Corey: Thanks for your input - I am downloading your suggested fix now and will report on my progress when it's in place - here's hoping !

Well I installed the CDT 6.0.2, (I had to remove eclipse entirely first), which solved my debug launch problem. This fixed my debug problems fine - but then ..
Flushed with the success I attempted to install Pydev which is another add on I used to run for python projects. Although this finished OK now I cannot get a CDT editor - this is the error
"Could not open the editor: No editor descriptor for id org.eclipse.cdt.ui.editor.CEditor" and I get no Pydev perspectives or anything else relevant for my python projects.
I know I can have pdev and CDT both installed as I had this with previous versions of python but my new installs have all being falling to bits !

In a nutshell I want to end up with CDT for C++ development and Pydev for my python projects - ideally both integrated into the same version of eclipse. I had this all working some time ago with Ganymede but Galileo is giving me no end of problems with everything I try ! Oh - well , back to uninstalling/installing things I suppose ! Any further suggestions are appreciated.

BgEddy

Thanks a lot guys - looks like I have finally got everything working. The key seems to have been CDT 6.0.2 which I installed over the existing CDT (it treated this as an update) and then I could also install Pydev.on top.
So far so good with the testing so thanks again to everyone. I'll definitely make a note of this for next time !
Cheers,
