昨天需要在一个linux环境上启动kettle，来做些测试，于是先检查了下服务器上已有的gtk版本：
yum list|grep gtk
发现只有gtk2，于是只好安装这个版本：
yum install gtk2.x86_64
yum install gtk2-devel.x86_64

启动环境为linux的centos6.8，cpu架构为x86_64.

第一次启动，运气非常差，报如下错误：

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Could not load SWT library. Reasons: 
   no swt-pi-gtk-3659 in java.library.path

具体的错误我忘了拍照，我在网上找了上面的代码，并照着映像修改了一下。
我搜索了一下，然后找到如下的解决方案：
#yum install libXp
#yum install libXt
#yum install libxtst

但是实际操作时，头两步执行成功了，最后一步需要修改一下：
yum install libXtst.x86_64

然后使用xshell再次执行启动命令，又报错：

No more handles [gtk_init_check() failed]

先检查xmanager组件有没有安装完全，手动启动xmanager-passive
然后检查xshell会话属性:SSH-隧道页面，
勾选：转发11连接到（x）以及xmanager

然后执行安装x窗口系统：

yum groupinstall "X Window System" -y

然后重连ssh，执行启动kettle的命令
这次终于可以看到远程界面了，但是非常遗憾的是，启动过程中jvm崩溃了，崩溃日志部分如下：

这个问题比较棘手，找了公司架构师帮忙调试，同时也一边搜索，还好万能的搜索引擎最终帮我解决了问题，搜索到的贴子如下：

检查了现场环境的xulrunner版本果然是和swt不兼容的版本，于是找到下载的包替换：
https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/xulrunner/releases/1.9.2.18/sdk/

这次终于启动成功了。

中途以为是swt版本和gtk版本不兼容，于是去swt官网查了一下gtk和swt对应版本的关系，并下了几个版本的swt包来试，最后发现与问题无关：
