RAD 7.5.4 doesn't start on Karmic Koala

[asif.mkhan]

I upgraded to 9.10 a couple of weeks a ago and installed RAD 7.5.4. The installation went smooth, but it doesn't start. I had installed the RAD 7.5 on Jaunty and it used to work fine, so it has to be something in upgrade that is failing.

The workbench seems to be loading fine, but then fails with the message.

/home/xxx/IBM/rationalsdp/workspace/.metadata/.log

The error log doesn't say much, I have attached it below in case it is helpful.

Hi!

I had the same issue with RSA 7.5.4 and found the workaround at http://employees.org/~abhinav/blog/2009/10/getting-eclipse-3-4-x-working-on-ubuntu-karmic-beta/ (http://employees.org/%7Eabhinav/blog/2009/10/getting-eclipse-3-4-x-working-on-ubuntu-karmic-beta/) :

'To get this working, just add the following to eclipse.ini on a separate line:
-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.XULRunnerPath=/usr/lib/xulrunner
Where /usr/lib/xulrunner is the location of version 1.9'


It worked for me fine :D

[hamidoo]
