IDE fails to launch on OMNeT++ 4.0.x-4.1.x version on Linux #3

When using opp_env on a bare-bones Linux installation (like the WSL image) the IDE fails to launch. This is because of an unaccounted dependency related to GTK3. It affects other omnet version too that use GTK3. (OMNeT++ 5.2 and later?)

The crash was caused by an incorrect interpreter pulling in the system dynamic loader from /usr/lib64 instead of the proper one from the nix store. It is fixed now, but the IDE still fails to start on 4.0.x and 4.1.x (for a different reason)

Because of JRE incompatibility with some plugin classes, it is not possible to support 4.0 and 4.1 in a nix based environment.
