How can I enable breakpoints in Eclipse/CDT.

I am using Eclipse 3.5.1 on Ubuntu 9.10, with CDT 1.0.0.200909110608

If I right-click the left margin for a context menu, 'Toggle Breakpoint', 'Enable Breakpoint' and 'Breakpoint Properties' are all greyed-out.

How can I enable these?

(Apart from breakpoints, the debugger and the rest of CDT are working fine.)

Thanks,

Chris.

Check Run->Breakpoint Types->C/C++ Breakpoints

Yes, that's just what I'd missed. It's a bit strange, 'C++ breakpoints' was the only option and it was already selected, but clicking made breakpoints work. Thanks, Chris.
