Unable to use GWT Dev Ext 1.0.7511 for FireFox 3.6.10 on 64bit SUSE 11.3

[Alec]

The add-on gets successfully installed. Having restarted FireFox, I
select Tools -> Add-ons, and it is found in the Add-ons window. The
attempt to use the dev URL,

http://127.0.0.1:8888/desktop.html?gwt.codesvr=127.0.0.1:9997

, prompts for a new installation. Please help if you can.

Thanks,
Alec

I had the same problem and found the solution in another thread (which
I can't find now). For me GWT Hosted Mode was looking for the library
libnspr4.so.0d which didn't exist on my computer. I just created a
symlink to libnspr4.so and everything worked after that.

ln -s /usr/lib/libnspr4.so /usr/lib/libnspr4.so.0d

Craig,

I added the symlink you mentioned, didn't work. I might need a symlink
to something else. Do you remember how you figured out the GWT Hosted
Mode was looking for the library libnspr4.so.0d ? Maybe I could use
your approach to figure out what's not being found on my machine...

Thank you,
Alec

Problem solved. On my machine, I had to

cd /usr/lib64;sudo ln -s libnspr4.so libnspr4.so.0d

and then to remove compreg.dat from the Firefox profile directory
(Help -> Troubleshooting Information..., Profile Directory: Open
Containing Folder) and to restart Firefox. Thanks, Craig!
