Hi Daniel

Sorry, if I wasn't very clear. See below for some clarification.

Best regards

What I meant was, that I installed what was provided as Ubuntu PPA by 
the LTTng project at that time. Actually, it was in end of January when 
I did it. This installation works fine for LTTng. (UST is not working at 
all). Then, with one of the following PPA packages the lttng-agent was 
broken. Some changes were made to fix these problems. I think, these 
changes were integrated in GIT head on March 2011-03-17, but I'm not 
sure. David might be able to confirm.

Sorry about the problem to download the Linux Tools source code. I 
currently try to figure out why the latest code which includes the LTTng 
Trace Control haven't been included in the nightly builds of Linux 
Tools. Once it is fixed and available I will let you know. To give you a 
heads-up, here is the link of the update site of the nightly builds of 
Linux Tools:

Yes, this is the same software. It used to be part of the DSDP Eclipse 
project. For Indigo and later on, it will be delivered with CDT.

By the way, I just tried to install TCF from the update site 
http://download.eclipse.org/tools/cdt/updates/indigo on top of a Helios 
Eclipse installation (3.6.1) and it worked. For that, I just selected 
TCF and nothing else. So, no need for you yet to move to 3.7 :-)
