You have to be root or setuid root on the proxy binary that launches the server. Or you can change port to something 
above 1000.
Binary is in /opt/qnx641/host/linux/x86/usr/qde/eclipse/plugins/com.qnx.tools.ide.tftp_4.6.0/os/linux/proxy
(or whatever version you have)

Hi, Doug,

Just to be sure:  you are running the IDE as root, right?  (I see that
you are root in your terminal snippets)  The IDE will run as whatever
user has your GNOME session, which may not be root if you logged in to
XDM as yourself.

Is there any more specific error message in the .metadata/.log file in
your workspace directory?

Cheers,

Christian
