Setting up OGRE with Eclipse on Ubuntu - eclipse

I've just begun to wade in the waters of OGRE to introduce myself to game programming with C++ (I had done some Unity prior).
I'm having a bit of difficulty setting up the tutorial application as specified here:
http://ogre3d.org/tikiwiki/Setting+Up+An+Application+-+Eclipse+-+Linux
I have downloaded OGRE 1.7.3 as a debian/Ubuntu package (from the PPA/OGRE team) so it lives on my hard drive somewhere. I am presuming I don't need to do anything with CMake since it's already been compiled.
In the tutorial instructions it says under the heading Project Configuration it asks me to provide the path to OGRE but I cannot find it. I have looked in the most usual place I know /usr/bin (under /usr/bin/OGRE) and it's not there. Where is it located?
I would greatly appreciate if someone could enlighten the final steps to getting the tutorial application visible onscreen. Thanks.

Yes, I might be answering my own question and it might be lame, but I did enough research to figure out what the heck is going on.

Devpak for Allegro 5

Hello community of stackoverflow. I've been using Allegro 4 and Dev-C++ 5.5.3, until I noticed that there's a new and better version of the library avaliable. I tried to download and install Allegro 5, but I got confused with so many ways to do it, and I have to admit that I have no idea of building it with cmake or something, but it seems it requires to do a lot of downloading which I can't afford.
However, I heard that there's a DevPak version of Allegro 5 avaliable, some people (even in this community) declared that they downloaded the devpak version of the library, but I can't find a reliable link to download it no matter how much I search for it. Having it will make things a lot easier to me, so I wish you could give me a reliable and updated link to download the devpak, or at least to guide me through it's building and installation.
I've downloaded what I think is the allegro source code (maybe for building it) from this link but actually I don't know what to do with it. If you can help me with that version I downloaded, or at least guiding me to finally get the Allegro 5 library, I will thank you very much.
I used that 5.0.10 devpak for a long time. By the way, I don't think there is still people doing new devpaks.
You can download a pre-compiled version of allegro here: https://github.com/liballeg/allegro5/releases
You may also need to download an updated version of mingw to match the allegro build you just downloaded. Then at Dev-C++ you create a new compiler set and configure the search paths to point to your mingw and allegro folders (use your current compiler set as a reference).
Well, seen that I've got no answers (searching the matter in Google results in this unanswered question) I'll post the link that I've found, hoping that it will be useful to anyone who has the same problem.
I've downloaded the devpak from this link: http://sourceforge.net/projects/devpacks/files/allegro5-5.0.10-1aved.DevPak/download which is the version 5.0.10 of allegro, but as I noted, there's a newer release available (though I don't know if there's a devpak version of that one). If someone knows a way of getting a more updated devpak, please post it here anyway. However, I think that's something, and I hope it will help those in my situation

Installing "Tiled" plugin into Corona Project Manager

I'm only posting out of frustration to be frank...
Spent the past 2 hours now searching for any guides to setting up a "plugin" while using the Corona Project Manager to build my app.
I have absolutely zero coding experience, but i'm learning.
So I am trying to learn to use Tiled to build levels, I downloaded it here: http://www.mapeditor.org/
And I tried to run this sample code as a test/teaching myself: http://developer.coronalabs.com/code/corona-tiled
Running that sample code gave me some errors naturally, reading the debug errors I'm guessing I did not yet install/unpack/setup/integrate Tiled into my app. It's trying to call and read from a few .dlls and such.
So can someone please, kindly please, point me in the right direction to getting this 3rd party tool set up? Any guides or links or even a direct answer here will be much appreciated.
Many thanks waiting eagerly~

Building LLVM on Linux

Well not that anyones probably going to see this but I A) figured out that LLVM wasn't what I needed it was LLVM-gcc which you can get from sauriks repo. B) realized that the toolchain I torrented already worked minus a la libstdc++ not in /usr/local/lib/gcc/arm-apple-darwin/4.0.1/ so to get libstdc++ I believe I got it from either the filesystem that comes with the torrent or my actual Ipod via SFTP. I can Proudly say that C++ can be compiled on IOS(although it was a pain in the ass :D).
not sure if linking torrents is alright on SO but for anyone that wants a link email me or pm me if you can do that on SO(i'm not sure?) the only thing I haven't tested yet is objc which I can't find any non xcode tutorials. this is what stumped me last time was finding tutorials that didn't rely on templates so heavy. I was never one for templates :D
Why keep downvoting it only hurts other users who are looking for the same answers i was?
it look alot like the usual subjects cstdio, cstdlib, cstring are not included.
I would start by trying including them :-)
which svn revision of LLVM are you building ?
from the page you linked:
Currently, due to Issue 70, we are limited to revision 42498.
Read the my original Post I got it working just ported my previous PC(ie linux,win,mac) only patcher(game save) to ios :D finally :)

How to launch minimal eclipse?

This my seem a little odd but I want to start eclipse (v3.5) in the most minimal version possible. Pherhaps just the core and the ui component without anything else. I'm new to eclipse Plugin Development so I don't really know if this is possible at all?
I googled this topic but there seems to be no useful info out there. Perhaps someone can help me...
Thanks
I found the solution. On this webpage in Section 3 "Create your first RCP application". There a minimal application based on the Extensions
org.eclipse.core.runtime.apllications
org.eclipse.ui.perspectives
is created.

Webservices on iPhone using Wsdl2Objc?

I have recently downloaded the most recent build of this awesome tool WSDL2OBJC from google code here: http://code.google.com/p/wsdl2objc/
After a bit of tweaking and downloading the latest version of the trunk from the svn repo I got a version that created the code for a WSDL I am using and compiles great and actually installs on my phone!
However, I'm not doing anything with it yet, because I am not really sure how to. There is very little in the way of sample code on the site, and there is a sample file in the project if you download it, but again it is very complicated and there are no real bits of documentation.
Has anyone managed to successfully use this stuff? It seems SOOO powerful and useful but from a look around the Internet, no one knows how to use it. We (all) would love someone who has figured it out to post a simple project or detailed walk-through of implementing this so we can put the code that lots of people have worked hard on to good use.
If anyone has found a blog entry or has this information it would be great to see!
I am totally stuck... with no errors. I would love to know how to use this now that it's all compiled successfully!
I wrote a short tutorial: http://brismith66.blogspot.com/2010/05/iphone-development-accesing-soap.html I hope it's helpful.
