Parallel Studio via Eclipse ... how?

[Rob_J_]

Last night I installed Eclipse as a GUI front end to Parallel Studio. Despite this being a suggested configuration by Intel it apparently can't work because Parallel Studio is installed as root. Eclipse therefore isn't capable of seeing the directory or files at /opt/intel

Is there any know solution to this, or is CLI (eek!) the only usable option?

Solved. I had already done what I thought should fix the problem:

chown root ~/Desktop/eclipse

but doing this simply set the original executable to root's ownership. I also needed to delete the desktop link and replace it, which then gave me a shortcut link also owned by root.

Linux. It's weird. And none of this was documented in
