The MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME & LD_LIBRARY_PATH env variables
Hi
in my Linux ambient (OpenSuse 11.2 64 bit and JRE 32 bit) I have some problem with Rational Team Concert 2.0.0.2 client: Team Advisor window says to me that: "Failed to create web browser. The MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME environment variable must be configured to point to your web browser install location. For example: export MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME = /usr/lib/firefox Also, MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME must be added to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable. For example: export LD_LIBRARY_PATH = "$MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME":"$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" More instructions for configuring the embedded browser can be found here: http://www.eclipse.org/swt/faq.php". I have read the FAQs. My Firefox directory is /usr/lib64/firefox whereas xulrunner is in /usr/lib64/xulrunner-1.9.1.6(directory pointed in /etc/gre.d/1.9.1.6-64bit.system.conf: GRE_PATH=/usr/lib64/xulrunner-1.9.1.6), but when I try to export MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME and LD_LIBRARY_PATH with firefox directory or xulrunner (Firefox version: 3.5.6 and it was not downloaded from firefox.com, but comes as part of the Linux distribution), the result does not change: why? Thanks Daniele |

Hi I don't recall the details, but there's some kind of compatibility problem with SWT and xulrunner 1.9. I believe you can fix this by installing a 1.8 version of xulrunner. You can have both 1.8 and 1.9 installed side-by-side on the same machine. The SWT FAQ explains a Java system property you can use to make sure SWT picks up the 1.8 version of xulrunner: http://www.eclipse.org/swt/faq.php#specifyxulrunner -- Jared Burns Jazz Process Team |

Thank you for your answer Jared.
Some day after my last post, I have read the swt faq with more attention and so I have installed xulrunner-1.8.1.3.en-US.linux and firefox-3.0.17.tar.bz2 and now Eclipse works fine Here my script for who has the same problem: export MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=/opt/IBM/TeamConcert/firefox (this is my firefox-3.0.17 directory) export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH export CLASSPATH=$DERBY_INSTALL/derby.jar:$DERBY_INSTALL/derbytools.jar:$CLASSPATH /opt/IBM/TeamConcert/eclipse -vmargs -Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.XULRunnerPath=/opt/IBM/TeamConcert/xulrunner (my xulrunner-1.8.1.3) Daniele Daniele I don't recall the details, but there's some kind of compatibility problem with SWT and xulrunner 1.9.
