Kjel Oslund Posted February 15, 2004 Report Share Posted February 15, 2004 Yes, just unzip the file in a suitable directory (such as /usr/java), then run eclipse from the command line; $ $YOUR_INSTALL_DIRECTORY/eclipse/eclipse & If you want menu entries and desktop icons, you have to add them yourself.

ralph1976 Posted February 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2004 i always get "permission denied" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzylizard Posted February 15, 2004 Report Share Posted February 15, 2004 Were did you put the ecplise directory? Also, did you change users when you unzipped it? There have also been reports that if you use the graphical archive tools in kde you will corrupt the files somehow. Therefore, the best way of "installing" ecplise is to go to the command line and run unzip eclipse...zip (whatever the actual name of the file is). Also I have always had to call the eclipse command from outside the eclipse directory in order to get it to start. First though, I would check the permissions on the the folder and files Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralph1976 Posted February 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2004 how do i change the permissions on folders and what rights should i give? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzylizard Posted February 16, 2004 Report Share Posted February 16, 2004 The most important thing to check is who owns the files. Go into the command line and do an ls -l to see who the owner of the eclipse directory is. The name should correspond to your login id/user id. If it says root or another name, then that is the reason that you are getting the permission denied error. In order to change the owner, you will need to issue the following command as root: chown userid filename where the userid is whichever user you want to make the owner of that directory. You will also need to issue the following command to change the owner of all the files inside the eclipse directory chown -R user eclipse/* IN terms of changing permissions, you use the chmod command. Do a search, there are a tonne of great tutorials on the net about using the command line and setting permissions, users, and groups.
