I have just installed MyEclipse on my Kubuntu Linux system with a fresh Eclipse 3.1.2 install, in my Home directory. I get the error messages below in the bottom right panel. When I try to open ‘MyEclipse->MyEclipse Home’ from the menu I get the same ‘Unable to open internal browser’ message. I found a thread describing the same problem, to which the suggested solution was to pay the licence! I paid the licence but still have the same problem. I am able to open the browser (Firefox or Mozilla) from elsewhere within Eclipse.

Help appreciated.

Keith,

If you have standard firefox from ubuntu/kubuntu (i check ubuntu)
it is complied correct for using with eclipse.Try add next file:
just copy next 4 line in your command prompt and execute:

sudo cat >/etc/gre.conf <EOF
[1.5]
GRE_PATH=/usr/lib/mozilla-firefox
EOF

Download from mozilla (mozilla or firefox) doesn’t work with eclipse (haven’t linkable gecko libraries)
If you have mozilla (and haven’t firefox) you have to find mozilla libraries and make similar file

You have to check if you have broken libraries in library path, too
check with

echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH

if you have some mozilla or firefox here then you can have problem yet
If it is empty you have correct environment

Best

Hi,

Just to add one thing. I found that with a plain vanilla install of Ubuntu, it was also necessary to install the libstdc++5 package. Type “sudo apt-get install libstdc++5”; This will also install the gcc-3.3-base package. I found that without this, Eclipse would not enable the internal browser option.
