Hi, I installed SDK 3.1 following the steps given in the “SDK-Installation_Guide_v3.1.pdf”
I also installed the Eclipse V3.3 IDE for SDK 3.1.

I attempted to try out the sample program given here in “/opt/cell/sdk/docs/programming/IDE_Users_Guide_v3.1.pdf”

After
But I am stuck in the Page 67 “Cell/B.E.simulator-start the simulator-step 2″

Ie I am unable to launch the “Cell Simulator”
These are the last few lines that are displayed in the Eclipse Console window
. . . . . .
. . . . . .

Hi Fabio,

Hi,

for the first … great guide!
But I’ve got a question about the last step …

I get an error when trying to:

# /opt/cell/cellsdk_sync_simulator install

The sysroot_image is already installed (yum install sysroot _image)

what I’m doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.
