Aptana internal web browser error, Ubuntu 12.04

Question

I am running elementary 0.2 (Ubuntu 12.04 but with a different desktop environment) and I installed Aptana studio. Everything is fine aprt from I can't get the internal web browser to work.

When I open the Aptana Studio start page I get the an error that says "we were unable to load the Chromium browser. Please check the documentation for details on possible workarounds/fixes. The message contains a link but you have to have an @aptana address to access it. Clicking on details after closing the error gives me the following which if very similar to How to set up internal browser for Aptana on Linux but I have tried MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=/usr/lib/xulrunner and it did not work.

Solution

Just found it was a missing dependency for thought I'd post this anyway just in case someone else had the same problem. To fix type

sudo apt-get install libwebkitgtk-1.0-0

[Christian]

Thanks, that saved me some trouble!

[Bill Garrison]

Solved the issue for me, Thanks!

Also fixed for me on Ubuntu 13.04 with Aptana Studio Aptana_Studio_3_Setup_Linux_x86_64_3.4.1, installed libwebkitgtk 3.0 instead: sudo apt-get install libwebkitgtk-3.0-0

Actually, it complained about missing Chromimum browser; but this fixed the issue.
