Just installed Debian 4.0 (etch) on my laptop (clean net install) and fixed all my development environment there. But surprisingly I found that none of the gwt sample application, and my gwt applications were running on the bundled hosted browser provided with GWT. I was getting an error relating to: java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError .
The following two commands solved the problem. May be helpful for someone else searching for solution.
apt-get install libstdc++5
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/gwt-linux-1.3.3/mozilla-1.7.12
