I’m trying to install myEclipse 3.8.4 into Eclipse 3.0.2 on Fedora RC2.

After downloading the following fille: EnterpriseWorkbenchInstaller_030804.bin,

I cant figure out how to use it in an install. Double clicking it returns a dialog
saying ‘Cannot open EnterpriseWorkbenchInstaller_030804.bin’, and I have
not been able to find the install instructions on your site, or to persuade ecliipse
to install it.

This is my first install on linux, previously I used XP, so nexperience probably accounts
for my difficulties.

After download of the bin file, how does one install myEclipse into Eclipse?

TIA

Bill.

Bill,
I haven’t installed it on linux myself. But the first thing I would check is the execute permission on bin file you downloaded. By default linux won’t make file executable.

If you are confortable with command line chmod u+x <Your bin file path> should do it.

Also, you can execute the bin file using sh.

# sh EnterpriseWorkbenchIntaller_XXX.bin

Thanks for your help in overcoming my windows mind.
I used chmod u+x and the install went perfectly.

Bill.
