How to install RTC 4 with Eclipse 3.7.x on 64 Bit Ubuntu 12.10
"Failed to create web browser. Instructions for configuring the embedded browser can be found here:
http://www.eclipse.org/swt/faq.php"
When I start eclipse I get an XPCOMM error:
XPCOM error 0x80004005 , if I have set -Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.XULRunnerPath=/opt/xulrunner
I have tried also setting this path to /usr/lib/firefox /usr/lib/mozilla and even a 32 bit xulrunner
When I don't set the XULRunnerPath the XPCOMM I get a different XPCOMM error:
XPCOM error -2147467259
I have tried even writing a script that sets some ENV's:
#export MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=/usr/lib/webkitgtk-3.0-0/libexec
export MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=/usr/lib/firefox
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
eclipse $*
I know I am running an unsupported version of Ubuntu but in the past I have always been able to point it to an xulrunner on Linux Mint 11 (32 bit) , Ubuntu 10, 11 (32 bit) and it has always worked. This is my first experience with the 64Bit Arch. I did follow both these posts and many more:

Thanks Tim,
I did tried the nightly build, matched the right xulrunner to my eclipse release using this link: http://www.eclipse.org/swt/faq.php#browserlinux
Tried it for both my eclipse installs 3.7.2 and 4.2 both resulting in an XPCOMM error noted above.
I also had gotten the x686 xulrunner before from here before posting originally:

Thanks for trying to help.
http://www.eclipse.org/swt/faq.php#specifyxulrunner Did you specify the xulrunner to use by editing the eclipse.ini file? That's what I did with my 64-bit install.
I did specify it in the eclipse.ini as well as trying to craft the other script solution. I am not unfamiliar with this problem its been something I had to deal with the last 2 years using RTC and Eclipse since 3.6.2.
This pairing will need you to specify the xulrunner in the eclipse.ini file, I used xulrunner 1.9.2, hope this helps others.

I'm also running on a W520 with Linux Mint 14 and I'm using Eclipse 3.8.1 + RTC 4.0.3 M1 using xulrunner 1.9.2 (build id: 20101227033307). Hopefully, that will help narrow down the problem.
