[SOLVED] Firefox 3 and Aptana Studio

I am having problems loading Aptana's Start Page and the problem seems to be this:

http://forums.aptana.com/viewtopic.php?p=10161#10161

Look at the reference linked to that mentions what is needed to run the SWT browser inside eclipse.  I get the "no more handles" stuff and assume it's because of Firefox 3 being statically linked?  What can I do?  I;ve tried setting the MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME stuff, etc.  Should I just not use Aptana?

Re: [SOLVED] Firefox 3 and Aptana Studio

I actually found that it was looking for libgtkembedmoz.so.  I found that file in the /usr/lib/thunderbird-2.0.0.14 folder and using the following script, Apatan now works:

MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=/usr/lib/thunderbird-2.0.0.14
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/opt/aptana/AptanaStudio

Re: [SOLVED] Firefox 3 and Aptana Studio

Do you have thunderbird installed?  Bascially the script needs to point to a folder where

libgtkembedmoz.so

is located.  See if you can find that file somewhere on your system, point the line in the script I posted to that folder and then test it out.  Heck, maybe you can find that file on the internet somewhere, temporarily place it on your system and try it out -- it  might work!

Yes thunderbird is installed and it still doesn't work. On my laptop it just plain doesn't work, in my desktop it sort of works but the HTML rendering is completely out of whack: the Aptana Start Page is blank with just a couple of lines of text for example...

Re: [SOLVED] Firefox 3 and Aptana Studio

then I don't know what else to try -- sorry.  I fought it for quite a while and only now had the solution I mentioned.  I'm using Aptana Studio from AUR, FWIW.

Good luck!

worked for me with the following changes:

export MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=/usr/lib/thunderbird-2.0.0.14
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/opt/aptana/AptanaStudio

thanks a lot!

Re: [SOLVED] Firefox 3 and Aptana Studio

Someone got it to work with firefox-nightly?
But it seems that it can be run with xulrunner. With version 1.9.0.3 with Arch is newer so it breaks. So I read.

This is my log: http://paste2.org/p/104003
Please take a look at it.
