How to Start the Visual Page Editor under Linux

You may have to make some adjustment to get the Visual Page Editor working smoothly when using Exadel Studio on a Linux system. Below we discuss what this means for different versions of Linux.

SuSE 9.3

You don't need to do anything, the visual page editor should work without any additional changes.

Fedora Core 4

  1. Sun's JDK should be installed (tested with j2sdk-1_4_2_08)
  2. Copy libstdc++.so.5.0.7 into /usr/lib. You can get the file here.
  3. Type cd /usr/lib
  4. Type ln -s libstdc++.so.5.0.7 libstdc++.so.5

Other Linux Distributions

  1. Close the Online Help view that displays the Exadel Studio Guide
  2. Close Eclipse
  3. Restart Eclipse and open the Visual Page Editor

You might also want to set MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME variable to point to Mozilla that comes with Exadel Studio when you start Eclipse. Create a script and when you launch Eclipse, set the following: 

export MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=<pExadelStudio>/com.exadel.vpe.mozilla.gtk_version/os/linux/x86
If you have another Mozilla installation, it will be intact as the path will be set only when you are launching Eclipse.

Just in Case

If you still experience problems, tell us about your system. Please do the following:

  1. Clear the Eclipse log file, <workspace>\.metadata\.log
  2. Start Eclipse with the -debug option: 
    eclipse -debug
  3. Send the Eclipse log file (<workspace>\.metadata\.log) to support@exadel.com
