I was finally able to use the update manager to install the linux tools.
In order to make that work, I had to run eclipse as the super-user.
Unfortunately, when I use the OProfile, I don't get any output. Instead, I
get an error:
***************************************
FATAL: An error occurred with opxml.
Reason: The opxml binary cannot be read or executed. Either your user does
not have sufficient permissions, or the install script was not run.
..

I'm not able to find the opxml binary, although I did install OProfile
using install-noconsolehelper.sh.
