Can't install EPIC on Ganymede

I'm running Eclipse 3.4.0 and I'm trying to install EPIC testing version
- I'm following the instructions - it says I have everything installed,
but when I go into the Software Configuration, it says that the package
is not installed correctly and it has the following errors

No plug-in: "org.epic.regexp" included at runtime.

No plug-in: "org.epic.perleditor" included at runtime.

No plug-in: "org.epic.doc" included at runtime.

No plug-in: "org.epic.debug" included at runtime.

No plug-in: "org.epic.lib" included at runtime.

No plug-in: "org.epic.source" included at runtime.

I saw the thread that just says to remove and re-add the package and it
fixes itself - I've done it 5 times and still having problems.  Any ideas?

Have you checked the file workspace/.metadata/.log for errors?
Do you have the correct plugins in the plugins directory?

Any other non-default plugins installed that might cause conflicts?

Any other non-default plugins installed that might cause conflicts?

Don't know - I have PHPEclipse, Subclipse, Subversion and XDebug

Thanks alot!

Uhh so you don't even have the bundles.info file I asked bout, it seems.
Can you post the contents of configuration/config.ini (this is where org.eclipse.equinox.simpleconfigurator
is normally referenced from).

Other than that, maybe installing Eclipse the old-fashioned way (download
and unzip) rather than relying on Ubuntu's packaging would resolve the problem.

No - this was installed the old fashioned way without using the package
manager -

Here's the config.ini file

Well, your config.ini definitely looks strange. Here is what I expected

Just download+reinstall Eclipse (I always use the 'Classic' distribution
fromm eclipse.org) and install the plugins you need. Preferences are stored
in the workspace, so it shouldn't be a big deal.
