Eclipse Client failing on Linux/RHEL 8 - java.lang.UnsatifiedLinkError: Could not load SWT library

0
Becky McDermott (92●11●40) | asked Aug 25 '23, 3:20 p.m.

 Hello,


I have installed a couple of eclipse based clients on a RHEL 8 VM (listed as supported by Rational Software Architect 9.7).

After I install the software and then try to run it for the first time as a non-root user, I get some errors.

1) First time I run, I get this error:
     org.eclipse.swt.SWTError: No more handles [Unknown Mozilla path (MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME not set)]

2) So, I set that variable to the path of firefox:  export MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=/usr/bin/firefox 
     and then when I run eclipse, I get this error:

     org.eclipse.swt.SWTError: No more handles [MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME='/usr/bin/firefox'] (java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Could not load SWT library. Reasons:
        /home/bmcderm/.eclipse/org.eclipse.platform_4.7.3_1529064711_linux_gtk_x86_64/configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/1624/0/.cp/libswt-mozilla-gtk-4763.so (libxpcom.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)
        swt-mozilla-gtk (Not found in java.library.path)
        /home/bmcderm/.swt/lib/linux/x86_64/libswt-mozilla-gtk-4763.so (libxpcom.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)
        /home/bmcderm/.swt/lib/linux/x86_64/libswt-mozilla-gtk.so (/home/bmcderm/.swt/lib/linux/x86_64/liblibswt-mozilla-gtk.so.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)
)

I ran into the same thing on Ubuntu 16.04 and was able to solve it by installing a library:  sudo apt-get install libwebkitgtk-1.0-0

However, RHEL 8 is my target platform and I cannot seem to figure out how to make it work there (there doesn't seem to be a libwebkitgtk-1.0-0 for RHEL 8)
