There were missing dependencies in Synthclipse plugins. Update worked only when one had already installed Eclipse CDT (C/C++ Development Tools). I fixed the update site. Now one should be able to install Synthclipse via update site from any Eclipse.
Please try to reinstall Synthclipse via update site. In case if it will be impossible (because you already have Synthclipse installed) then install Eclipse CDT (update site: http://download.eclipse.org/tools/cdt/releases/9.1 ). This should fix the problem.
