本文介绍了解决在Ubuntu上安装Google Web Toolkit (GWT) Eclipse插件时遇到的“无法加载Mozilla进行托管模式”错误的方法。通过安装特定版本的C++库和设置环境变量来指定默认浏览器的位置。

在ubuntu上面装google 的gwt的eclipse插件，运行会报这样的错误

** Unable to load Mozilla for hosted mode ** java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /home/hellz/projects/gwt-linux-1.6.4 /mozilla-1.7.12/libxpcom.so: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory at java.lang.ClassLoader$NativeLibrary.load(Native Method) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadLibrary0(ClassLoader.java:1778) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadLibrary(ClassLoader.java:1674) at java.lang.Runtime.load0(Runtime.java:770) at java.lang.System.load(System.java:1005) at com.google.gwt.dev.shell.moz.MozillaInstall.load(MozillaInstall.java:190) at com.google.gwt.dev.BootStrapPlatform.init(BootStrapPlatform.java:49) at com.google.gwt.dev.GWTShell.main(GWTShell.java:354)

The key to troubleshooting the problem is in the second line, libstdc++.so.5 to be exact. It can’t find this C++ library. Turns out the hosted browser needs libstdc++5, but the version currently installed on my 8.10 system is libstdc++6. So you can either:

Open System->Administration->Synaptic Package Manager and install libstdc++5

打开系统－》系统管理－》新立得软件管理包
or
At a console type: sudo apt-get install libstdc++5

或者直接在终端输入 sudo apt-get install libstdc++5

Now you should be running in a hosted browser fine.

如果你没有将浏览器将的保存到系统变量中可能还会出现下面的问题

Error on Compile/Browse
The second issue you might run into is GWT not recognizing your external browser. You’ll know you have this problem after clicking on the Compile/Browse button.

You get an error that looks like:

[ERROR] Unable to find a default external web browser [WARN] Try setting the environment variable GWT_EXTERNAL_BROWSER to your web browser executable before launching the GWT shell

The problem is that GWT can’t find your default installed browser (which is most likely firefox). This is easy to fix:

Open your .bashrc or .profile file, which is located in your home directory. So type gedit ~/.bashrc or nano ~/.bashrc or however else you want to open it. The reason I listed both files is because IMO the environment and pathing system of Ubuntu (and some other distros) is a spiderweb mess. I modified my .bashrc, but I’m not sure if that’s best practice.
Add this line to the bottom of the file: export GWT_EXTERNAL_BROWSER=/usr/bin/firefox
Logout and log back in for the changes to take affect.

Now the Compile/Browse button should bring up your external browser.

Adding GWT to the path

Add PATH=”$HOME/projects/gwt-linux-1.5.3:$PATH” to your .bashrc (or .profile ) file. Of course you might have to modify the directory name to point where you have GWT installed. For this to take effect you’ll have to logout and log back in as well. You can double check your path to see if GWT has been added by typing echo $PATH . Once you have GWT added to your path you’ll be able to execute projectCreator and applicationCreator from anywhere.
