[news.eclipse.tptp] Installing and profiling fails on x86-64

[a <asvamesf@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

In the last couple of days, I've been trying to profile a java program for fiber tractography from a diffuse tensor imaging package named http://www.cs.ucl.ac.uk/research/medic/camino/ (v2_715 (latest)). Installing TPTP 4.6.0 and profiling with it on x86-64 is problematic.

There are a number of reasons:
- Installing through Eclipse failed on chmod-ing ACServer (I'm pretty sure it was this file (otherwise an AC*.sh)). Anyway, I checked and the file wasn't there or anywhere else in my system.
- Installing manually through packages failed:
-- "TPTP all-in-one package, Linux" (tptp.runtime.allInOne.linux.gtk.x86-TPTP-4.6.0.zip), doesn't give me x86-64 ("allInOne" & "x86" doesn't mean ia32 | em64t in Eclipse land?)
-- "All TPTP plugins" (Runtime) (tptp.runtime-TPTP-4.6.0.zip) ships with a 32 bit version of libBCIEngProbe.so in the linux_em64t/ subdir.

Also the Agent Controller doesn't start. I got this running with the separate AC package, but apparently, it installs in its own way (own bin/ lib/ etc.)

At some point in time, after installing many TPTP pkgs, the ProductCatalogSample could be profiled, but, although the fiber tracking app I wanted dumped 20 GB of profiling data in 2 hrs (!) (normal runtime is 27s, -Xprof is ~45s), nothing was shown, until explicitly imported. What then turns up is clearly incorrect (short runtime, only main(), clinit<>, some minor I/O).

I'm running Ubuntu 9.04 x86_64 on an Intel Core2 6600 and I'm using OpenJDK 6 (6b14-1.4.1-0ubuntu11).

I hope somebody can point me into the right direction to get profiling working or maybe even fix some of the issues. Is the enormous profiling overhead normal?
