Re: [epf-dev] Composer User Questions

[Alec Clews <alecclews@xxxxxxxxx>]

Kelvin,

Thanks for the pointers. However I think it may be a little more subtle
than that, possibly related to the fact that I running on X86_64.

I have Eclipse Calista for x86_64 running fine and it uses the x86 (32
bit) Firefox and Sun Java 1.5 64 bit. I therefore believe I have the
correct version of Firefox installed.

When I run the RCP shipped with EPF then I have to use 32 bit Java 1.4.
However when I try and open a tutorial I still get the 'Unable to open
browser on {0}'. It does not seem to matter how I have MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME
or LD_LIBRARY_PATH set.

Any suggestions

Thanks

Alec
