problem:
I get the following error when trying to run the linux netbeans 6.5M1 installer (netbeans-6.5_m1-php-linux.sh) on ubuntu 8.04:
/usr/share/themes/Human/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:43: error: lexical error or unexpected token, expected valid token
and then the installer window shows a blank screen.
(I’m guessing this post may relate to other versions of netbeans and ubuntu)
solution:
the problem was the jvm 1.5 I was running under, updating to jvm 1.6 solves the problem… I installed the sun-java6-jdk and the jvm dependencies then when executing the installer I specified the java home as follows:
./netbeans-6.5_m1-php-linux.sh --javahome /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun
