Fail to run RVDS v4.0 on RedHat Enterprise Linux 5.4

Note: This was originally posted on 21st September 2009 at http://forums.arm.com

I follow the offical rvds_install_guide to install RVDS v4.0 on RHEL x86 5.4, using both "Wizard" and "command line", the install process is smooth and seems success. But when I try to execute "ARM Workbench IDE v4.0, it always failed with a JVM problem. Please refer the the attached pictures and log for details.

Has anyone encountered this problem? Any suggestion is appreciated. Thanks.

    I try all the same procedure on RHEL 5.1, the it's ok, and I call it a solution

    In the log file, near the top, libxul.so file shines out.
    JVM can not even finish the error report. This is most
    likely an interopetability problem with the native library.
    Update your RedHat system with some stable branch.


    Hm..., the newer is not alway better:)

    I faced the same problem on CentOS-5.2. But I got lucky to get an answer from ARM. Here it is:

    "Eclipse 3.3 depends upon Firefox for its HTML rendering and has a dependancy on libxul.so. As Eclipse 3.3 is fairly old, it expects Firefox 1.5 or 2.0 and not the Firefox 3.0 that is installed in Centos 5.2. The workaround is to install Firefox 2.0 and set an environment variable, MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME to that installation directory.

    1. Open an FTP connection by choosing "Places->Connect to Server..."
    from the Gnome desktop menu.
    2. Select "Public FTP" as the service, "ftp.mozilla.org" and the following path as the folder to browse to:
       /pub/firefox/releases/2.0.0.20/linux-i686/

    3. Open the "linux-i686 on ftp.mozilla.org" icon on the desktop and then browse into the folder for your language (choose "en-US" for US English if you are unsure).
    4. Download "firefox-2.0.0.20.tar.gz" by dragging it to your desktop.
    5. Open a terminal window (Applications->Accesssories->Terminal) and unpack
       Firefox:
        tar zxf ~/Desktop/firefox-2.0.0.20.tar.gz

    Before starting the ARM Workbench IDE, you must set the environment variable MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME to the location of your Firefox 2.0 installation. You can do this in a terminal like this:

    export MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=$HOME/Desktop/firefox-2.0.0.20  (Bash) setenv MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME $HOME/Desktop/firefox-2.0.0.20  (Csh)

    or in the RVDS40env.posh setup script in the ARM installation tree. For example, by adding:

    ${setcmd} MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME${eq}$HOME/Desktop/firefox-2.0.0.20"

    It worked for me so I hope it will work for others B)
