I also had problems with OProfile plugin on Gentoo. 
- no events are shown in the run configuration
- I can start the profiler (verified with opcontrol --status in an 
external console) but I do not see any results in Eclipse (the directory 
/var/lib/oprofile/samples/current is filled with samples info). The 
OProfile view is completely empty!

The Eclipse log shows some errors:
Unhandled event loop exception

P.S. the libhover and Valgrind plugins are working like a charm.
