Chuck Robey wrote: [snip] Mark, I could be responsible for this (the fact that it seems that neither of the things I really wanted to know are covered) because sometimes I am not clear in what I'm asking, so let me try again. I need to get an up-to-date version of eclipse working on my gentoo box. First question is, is there a Galileo (3.5+) version of eclipse available as a portage package? I can't find it, so I'd really appreciate a pointer. The only thing I can see is a fairly old eclipse version (I think a year or more out of date). Second question, at the eclipse website, I see a binary version of the latest Linux-eclipse (the version I'm after). If I *can't* get a portage package version of Galileo-eclipse, then if I install the binary package (non-portage) from the eclipse website, can I get (and how can I get) portage to consider this package as supplying any dependency which would be otherwise supplied by the latest (ganymede, 3.4+) portage version of the eclipse tool . Unless I'm completely misreading your stuff, your examples tell me how to install the (too old) portage version, which is in all cases just too old for me, so my 2 questions boil down to (1) must I?, and (2) How do I? The binary is self-contained, simply install it in /opt and you're done. As long as you have X running, it's enough and you don't need to tell portage anything about it. - Jörg

Then I try to update Eclipse using Help Software Updates Find and Update dialog, however, nothing happened when I clicked Next button. Any idea? Update a software using any embedded option in it is definetly not a good way to do things in Unix systems. Programs with such menu entry are usually multi-platform softwares. This is the less worse way to update softwares in OS lacking a true package manager. -- Nicolas Sebrecht

OK, I found --Windows --Preferences --General --Capabilities and activated Classic, Developement and Team then hit apply. That fixes the --Help --Software updates button. all good. But I still cannot seem to find/figure out how to install C I get 2 buttons: --Help --Software Updates one yields: Cannot launch the Update UI. This installation has not been configured properly for Software Updates. The other one: --Help --Software updates( is tabbed with 2 choices): Find and install and Manage Configuration Exploring every option under each button, neither show me plugin modules to install? Any help or a wiki is much appreciated. I'm just trying to install C (CDT) at the moment, but other language supports is of interest to me too. James

[gentoo-user] Re: Eclipse
Well it turns out I was on the wrong path from the start all I needed was the eclipse editor and the guide from Francisco did just that. Thanks for the enlightenment on the whole mask issue anyway. I'm sure it will come in handy later when I become more familiar with Gentoo. -- Regards / Venlig hilsen Johannes Skov Frandsen * * -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

As it is masked, you have to unmask it both in package.keywords and package.mask. I've tried many combinations (as I really don't a have a clue of what i'm doing) of ~x86 and ~amd64 architectures. Finally, everything is unmasked under ~x86, but it doesn't work... :-( I've read is a bug solved in blackdown-jdk-1.4.2.03, but it still doesn't work. Did anyone run succesfully eclipse under AMD64. Yes, I have been running eclipse for some time now. I've seen a few workarounds for the problems with eclipse in http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-283429.html And a more general question is the famous UNMERGING. If I want to remove all the packages that have been merged together with the eclipse (or any other), the dependencies. You can use this: # emerge depclean -a BIG FAT WARNING: the success of this command relies heavily on the state of your system. If you have maintained your system well it will only clean the dependencies that are not actively used. If you haven't maintained your system that well it might unmerge some essential packages as well. By actively I mean dependencies controlled by USE flags. Some packages will still use a library even though it's not in the packages (R)DEPEND list. Make sure you review the list of packages before proceeding to unmerge them. If you see a package that doesn't belong on the unmerge list you can add it to the portage world file with `emerge --noreplace packagename` After you've unmerged dependencies with depclean you must run the following command to fix broken libraries/executables that were using the a passive dependency. # revdep-rebuild -p revdep-rebuild is part of app-portage/gentoolkit -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
