eclipse does not run in leopard?

Hi,
I am new in using Mac OS, I just bought a mac pro. I use eclipse a lot for C++ programming. I just downloaded Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers, and after decompressing the file, I tried to run the Eclipse.app, and it doesn't do anything, I don't even see it running in the Activity Monitor.

Is there anything that should be configured?; according to the eclipse readme file, It should be pretty much just copying the Eclipse folder into the Applications folder, and executing the file.

Any input as how to fix it will be greatly appreciated.

thanks

If you need a stop-gap you could try this:

Intellij

I found this tidbit on my travels:

As predicted, Eclipse on 64-bit Java in Leopard runs afoul of SWT/Carbon incompatibility. However, Leopard provides both 32-bit and 64-bit JavaVMs (and launches the 32-bit VM by default), so Eclipse runs just fine.

Eclipse works for me and I am running Leopard - mind you i develop in Java not C++, but that shouldnt make a difference

I found this in the console log

19/11/07 9:57:05 AM com.apple.launchd[66] ([0x0-0x2a02a].org.eclipse.eclipse[231]) posix_spawnp("/Users/acosgaya/Downloads/eclipse-cpp-europa-fall2-macosx-carbon/eclipse/Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS/eclipse", ...): Permission denied

19/11/07 9:57:09 AM com.apple.launchd[66] (com.apple.FolderActions.enabled[227]) Exited: Terminated

It seems I have to give some sort of permission. How could I do this?

thanks

That is very strange. I am running Eclipse Europa (3.3.1.1) in Leopard without any issues.

Not sure, but you might try "sudo chmod a+x /Users/acosgaya/Downloads/eclipse-cpp-europa-fall2-macosx-carbon/eclipse/Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS/eclipse" in case it's for some reason not executable? Maybe the archive extracted without preserving permissions.

my eclipse doesnt work either

So its proven.
I was running eclipse on my Mac with OS 10.4.
and I was running c++ and java programs with no problems. I could develop in both languages
I then installed Leopard. Java still works. No problems at all. But i have problems with compiling the C++ projects i had previously. Not even Hello world works
