From Konrad: It looks like the browser installed with RHEL 3.0 does not meet requirements of SWT. I have RHEL3.0U1 with all RHN updates, and they upgraded Mozilla to 1.4.2, which I am afraid is not GTK version. If you would like to see the browser embedded, a different mozilla (GTK2 build) needs to be installed
I have not tried just on RHEL3.0U1. We installed it, registered to RHN, installed all updated packages applicable for our system on Monday 20040412, so the system is little newer than plain Update1. Then I tried help, the browser widget throws its ussual SWT.ERROR_NO_HANDLES.
I am waiting to receive the licence to use RHN. Meanwhile, could you try the following: - open a terminal - cd /usr/lib/mozilla-1.4 - ldd libgtkembedmoz.so can you past the output of the last command?
/usr/lib/mozilla-1.4 is has only chrome directory issuing ldd libgtkembedmoz.so in /usr/lib/mozilla-1.4.2 gives: libxpcom.so => not found libplds4.so => /usr/lib/libplds4.so (0xb75d1000) libplc4.so => /usr/lib/libplc4.so (0xb75cc000) libnspr4.so => /usr/lib/libnspr4.so (0xb759c000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib/tls/libpthread.so.0 (0xb758c000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0xb7589000) libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 (0xb7333000) libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0 (0xb72c4000) libatk-1.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libatk-1.0.so.0 (0xb72ab000) libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0 (0xb7298000) libpangoxft-1.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libpangoxft-1.0.so.0 (0xb7277000) libpangox-1.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libpangox-1.0.so.0 (0xb726a000) libpango-1.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libpango-1.0.so.0 (0xb7236000) libgobject-2.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.so.0 (0xb7201000) libgmodule-2.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgmodule-2.0.so.0 (0xb71fd000) libglib-2.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 (0xb7193000) libm.so.6 => /lib/tls/libm.so.6 (0xb7171000) libstdc++.so.5 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5 (0xb70be000) libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0xb70b4000) libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0xb6f7c000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x80000000) libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0xb6e9d000) libXrandr.so.2 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXrandr.so.2 (0xb6e99000) libXi.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXi.so.6 (0xb6e91000) libXext.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6 (0xb6e82000) libXft.so.2 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXft.so.2 (0xb6e70000) libXrender.so.1 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXrender.so.1 (0xb6e68000) libfontconfig.so.1 => /usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1 (0xb6e41000) libfreetype.so.6 => /usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6 (0xb6df1000) libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0xb6de3000) libexpat.so.0 => /usr/lib/libexpat.so.0 (0xb6dc2000)
This sounds good. Can you try the following: - open a terminal - csh - setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/lib/mozilla-1.4 - start eclipse and try the Browser. It should work (make sure the LD_LIBRARY_PATH is correctly set - I gave the details for the csh shell)
Sorry - I meant: LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/lib/mozilla-1.4.2 Can you try the following: - open a terminal - csh - setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/lib/mozilla-1.4.2 - start eclipse and try the Browser. It should work (make sure the LD_LIBRARY_PATH is correctly set - I gave the details for the csh shell)
With LD_LIBRARY_PATH set, the browser does not work as before :-(
Currently updating my RH EL3 system through RHN and hoping to reproduce the PR
Fixed v>20040419.
closing PR - fixed v>20040419
Hi, this problem is reappearing in I200405211200.
Masayuki: is M9 failing too for you? Are you trying to use the Browser from within Eclipse or stand-alone (or junit tests)? Can you paste the error message? M9 is working for me on RH EL3 with the update that instals Mozilla 1.4.2.
I just tried, --launch a brand new eclipse, then Help > Help Contents The help is opened in Mozilla 1.4.2 The preferences > Help page does not display "Always use external browsers" selection There is no error come up. That occurs in M9 on ja_JP and en_US.UTF-8 locale. My RHEL 3.0 installs latest update via RHN. I guess the level is Update 2 and some updates applied.
Thanks for the feedback. Could you try running the BrowserExample plugin: 1. download the Example Plug-ins from the Eclipse website for M9 http://download.eclipse.org/downloads/drops/S-3.0M9-200405211200/download.php? dropFile=eclipse-examples-3.0M9.zip 2. unzip it into the directory that contains your eclipse install. 3. start Eclipse. Open the Menu: Window > Show View > Other > SWT Examples. Select SWT Browser. Do you get a working Browser or a message saying the Browser widget could not start?
I have tried our RHEL3.0. No embedded help in M9. Using 20040526-0800 build, no embedded help, and SWT browser exaple displays: Error - The Browser widget could not be instantiated. Please check the Browser widget is supported on this platform. Supported platforms and sotware requirements for the Browser widget are listed on the SWT FAQ web page.
Thanks Cherie, in reality it was me posting comment #14, but bugzilla have not bothered to ask me to log in.
Konrad: can you try running the following SWT snippet from within Eclipse M9 - and paste back the exception stack trace. I am trying to reproduce the problem on my RHEL3. import org.eclipse.swt.*; import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.*; import org.eclipse.swt.graphics.*; import org.eclipse.swt.events.*; import org.eclipse.swt.layout.*; import org.eclipse.swt.browser.*; public class PRBrowser { public static void main(String[] args) { Display display = new Display(); Shell shell = new Shell(display); shell.setText("PRBrowser"); shell.setLayout(new FillLayout()); Browser browser = new Browser(shell, SWT.NONE); browser.setUrl("http://www.eclipse.org"); shell.open(); while (!shell.isDisposed()) { if (!display.readAndDispatch()) display.sleep(); } } }

Weird, it is still working for me with the latest RH EL3 update. Maybe the eclipse launcher is not setting the environment properly on your machine. Konrad: 1. Can you paste the content of the file /etc/gre.conf 2. Assuming your Mozilla is /usr/lib/mozilla-1.4.2 can you: - open a new terminal (don't reuse an existing one) - csh - setenv MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME /usr/lib/mozilla-1.4.2 - setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/lib/mozilla-1.4.2 - eclipse Does this work better? (I am assuming you are starting eclipse with the eclipse launcher, not with the java command line. It is supposed to set these variables automatically on RH).
1. [1.4.2] GRE_PATH=/usr/lib/mozilla-1.4.2 2. Help does not work better.
Chris, There have been nothing (except Eclipse drops) installed on our machine since this bug was opened and fixed (for the first time). So it looks like there is a regression in SWT. Since Masayuki Fuse is not sharing machine with me and we both see the problem, I suspect there is some forgotten workaround applied to your machine that Masayuki Fuse or I do not have. This problem is again RHEL3.0 specific as it works fine on my RH9.0.
I installed latest updates from RHN, it did not fix the problem.
Created attachment 11163 [details] eclipse launcher for M9 with some debug info
DEBUG ECLIPSE LAUNCHER LD_LIBRARY_PATH <(null)> MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME <(null)> 2- LD_LIBRARY_PATH </usr/lib/mozilla-1.4.2> 3- GRE PATH </usr/lib/mozilla-1.4.2>
thanks - I've mailed you a test (attaching a 1Mo zip file to bugzilla crashes IE :-( to determine whether the problem is with the eclipse launcher or not.

The output differs from mine. In my case (JVM 1.4.2 b28), the JVM prepends its paths to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH - <VM paths>:/usrlib/mozilla-1.4.2 . In your case, it looks like the VM simply sets the LD_LIBRARY_PATH erasing any previous value. What is the output of java -version in your case? Do you pass special arguments (it looks like you use the classic VM, not hotspot). Please email me how you got that VM. Do you use the same JVM on both RH EL3 and RH9? This may explain why it fails in one case and not the other.
Chris, On My RH9.0 I have Sun JDK. RHEL3.0 has IBM JDK. I think it was installed from IBMJava2-SDK-1.4.1- 1.0.i386.rpm available from Java Information Manager - http://w3.hursley.ibm.com/java/JIM.html (IBM internal site). I passed no extra arguments.
I ran Eclipse on RHEL3.0 using Sun's JDK 1.4.2_04 and it worked. output of java -version from IBM's JDK 1.4.1sr1 for which browser does not work is: java version "1.4.1" Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.1) Classic VM (build 1.4.1, J2RE 1.4.1 IBM build cxia321411-20030930 (JIT enabled: jitc)) IBM's JDK 1.4.1.sr2 is not better in this regard.
I've opened a bug report against the IBM VM and will update this PR based on what we decide to do.
According to http://eclipse.org/eclipse/development/eclipse_project_plan_3_0.html, IBM 32- bit SDK for Linux on Intel architecture, Java 2 Technology Edition, Version 1.4.1 is one of the two supported JDKs. Even if IBM JDK fixes the problem in the next release we still are in a need for a fix using this VM or change required level of supported JDK.
Konrad, Masayuki: the current way to work around the VM bug is - open a terminal - csh - setenv MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME /usr/../usr/lib/mozilla-1.4.2 - eclipse This writing works around a bizarre parsing behaviour of this VM that affects the LD_LIBRARY_PATH entries. We will decide the final shape of the fix when we get more details about this VM parsing issue. ---- changing title from [browser] Browser not working with default RH EL3 update 1 to [browser] Browser not working with IBM VM java This is a new problem. Since there is already a lot of history for this new problem, I won't open a separate PR.
Thanks Christophe. export MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=/usr/../usr/lib/mozilla-1.4.2 (using default bash shell) works.
The export MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=/usr/../usr/lib/mozilla-1.4.2 works on my RHEL3.0WS U2 on M9 and IBM JRE 1.4.2 cxia32dev-20040524. On SLES9 Beta5, M9 and IBM JRE 1.4.2 cxia32dev-20040524, it works without the workaround.
>On SLES9 Beta5, M9 and IBM JRE 1.4.2 cxia32dev-20040524, it works without >the workaround. Yes. On this platform, Mozilla is usually installed in /opt/mozilla/lib and for some reason the VM bug does not touch this kind of path. It seems to remove entries that start with /lib or /usr/lib.
I have pinged the VM team to get their opinion on the workaround and to find out when we might see a fix. See Hursley defect 74242 for details if you have access.
Thanks Steven. No I don't have access to this other database. Please let me (and/or Kevin Haaland) when you get details on this - even if they just send us the section of the code that does the parsing. We want to know which paths will fail and deduct the formatting that should be used to circumvent it.
The VM bug has been confirmed. and is expected to be fixed in a future release. This bug affects RedHat users. The SWT workaround is to set MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME to /usr/../usr/lib/mozilla-1.x instead of the default /usr/lib/mozilla-1.x The following SWT FAQ documents this issue and the workaround: http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E/platform-swt- home/faq.html#browserlinuxibm Closing PR. This PR will be updated to notify which future version of the IBM VM contains the fix.
I have been informed that the VM bug will be fixed in the IBM 1.4.2 JRE GM release. The Hursley defect 74242 indicates that it was integrated into their build the evening of June 9th. Christophe, please verify the fix as soon as possible.
I've verified the fix with IBM JVM 1.4.2 build date 20040616a on ja_JP locale.
