Sonic Workbench 7.0.1 on Fedora Core 6

Continuing with my installation guides ...

1. Libraries
Before install make sure you have installed folowing libraries:
compat-libstdc++-33-xxxxxx
libstdc++-devel-4.xxxx
libstdc++-4.xxxxx
compat-libstdc++-296-xxxxxx


If you are missing something, yum it in.

Then do:
su -
cd /usr/lib
ln -s libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2


2. Java
Make sure you have Java 1.4.2 installed. I was not able to run Sonic Workbench under Java 1.5., due to Process Editor crash.
Currently using Java 1.4.2_14. Don't worry Eclipse has it's own compiler so can still produce 1.5 compatible classes (when needed).

3. Run it
Run $SonicInstall/Workbench7.0/startworkbench.sh.
If you got an XPCOM error, add following two lines to startworkbench.sh (or choose your own way of setting MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME variable).
# to make SWT browser support work
export MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=/usr/lib/mozilla



This was done on my home FC6 (Linux frodo 2.6.20-1.2948.fc6 #1 SMP Fri Apr 27 19:48:40 EDT 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux).
It also worked on my laptop with Fedora 8 (Linux javadev-nb 2.6.23.9-85.fc8 #1 SMP Fri Dec 7 15:49:59 EST 2007 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux).
