How to solve TPTP Monitor error ( IWAT0435E ) in Eclipse, on Debian-based Linux?

After installing Test & Performance Tools Platform in Eclipse Ganymede on, whenever I tried to profile a Java application, I was confronted by the launch configuration dialogue which contained an error along the lines of:

Error IWAT0435E could not connect to host

How is this problem fixed?

From stackoverflow

• After searching for a while I found the solution in a couple of blogs, so thanks to Pablo and Shimi. These contain a more detailed background if you're interested.

  The problem related to something called the Agent Controller being linked to an old version of libstdc++. To solve it you can run the following two commands:

  wget mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/universe/g/gcc-2.95/libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2_2.95.4-24_i386.deb
  sudo dpkg --install libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2_2.95.4-24_i386.deb
  

  Though your mileage may vary depending on distro version etc.

  You should then be able to profile successfully in Eclipse, I found that I didn't even need to restart Eclipse.

• Problem: you need to have libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 installed. To solve this problem on openSUSE install package "compat".

• Use the following if you're using Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala 64 bit

  wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/universe/g/gcc-3.3/libstdc++5_3.3.6-17ubuntu1_amd64.deb
  sudo dpkg -i libstdc++5_3.3.6-17ubuntu1_amd64.deb
  

  Launch eclipse and viola...you're in business :)

  joelpet : Worked fine even on Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx 64-bit with TPTP-4.6.2 on Eclipse from repositories.
