problem installing mdr

[Jacqueline McQuillian]

Hi,

I have downloaded and installed netbeans 5 for linux. According to the
instructions mdr should be automatically installed.
Although when I choose the view menu - there is no option to select
"FreeStyle Browser".

I then downloaded and installed netbeans 3.6 for linux and followed the
instructions to install mdr via the update center.
This has proved unsuccessful also as I get the following message

"Check the proxy settings or try again later. The server may be
unavailable at this time."

Any ideas on what I may be doing wrong?
Thanks.

Jacqueline

Although MDR is part of NB 5.0. The module for viewing its content is not. So
you would probably have to build the FreeStyleBrowser yourselves.

Proxy? If so then set your proxy in the update center dialog.
