Maybe the attached log files can help you narrow down the failures.
But as I said, I tried metriculator on a C project, since I do no C++ 
programming.
I was mainly interested in the McCabe metrics, which can be calculated on C.

And as I stated on other threads like the UnitTests plugin already, I 
think it is a shame, to just put the effort on C++, since a lot of 
companies still use C.
The whole Embedded-Systems industry seems to change over to Eclipse/CDT 
as a toolchain platform, not only because of CDT.
A lot of metrics and unit test plugins already exist, but almost none 
supports C.
Then we could just rename the CDT to C++ Development Environment and 
abandon C at all.
