Question

I am now working on a data transfer project under Linux.

The Project Team choose putty to login in linux server via vim to development, But I think the efficiency is too low.

Now I choose Eclipse for C++, and distributor the version “eclipse-cpp-helios-linux-gtk.tar.gz” on Ubuntu.

However, I encountered a problem: My Linux system should install jre1_5_0_09linuxi586, but I can not find it on web.

Can anybody help me on how to install Elipse for C++ on a cleanup linux OS?
What I need is Eclipse for C++ running gdb and compiling on IDE, thanks!

Your question is difficult to understand, but if I’m reading it correctly, you’re trying to install the Java Runtime Environment and Eclipse Helios for C++ on Ubuntu.

The easiest way to install the JRE is to use the packages in the “partner” repository:

Edit /etc/apt/sources.list:

sudo -e /etc/apt/sources.list

You should see a few lines that end with the word “partner.” Remove the hash marks from the front of each of these lines.

deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu lucid partner
deb-src http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu lucid partner

Now update your package list and install the Sun Java Runtime:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre

Then you can unzip the Eclipse tarball and run the eclipse binary from inside the tarball:

tar -zxf eclipse-cpp-helios-linux-gtk.tar.gz
./eclipse
