- - Java Error? (https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/java-error-453537/)

Ok - I tried to install a P2P client called Frostwire which is a clone of Limewire connecting to the same network. The problem is that both Frost & Lime require Java. I thought I installed Java since I can see:

- Java 1.4 Plugin Control Panel
- Java 1.4 Policy Tool

When I try to launch Frostwire from "Applications > Internet > Frostwire", nothing happens to then I try and launch the application from a terminal window as root and user.

Code:

cwilliams@nucleus:~$ frostwire

: command not found:

: No such file or directory

: command not found:

: command not found3:

'unFrost.sh: line 24: syntax error near unexpected token `

'unFrost.sh: line 24: `look_for_java()

cwilliams@nucleus:~$ su -

Password:

nucleus:~# frostwire

: command not found:

: No such file or directory

: command not found:

: command not found3:

'unFrost.sh: line 24: syntax error near unexpected token `

'unFrost.sh: line 24: `look_for_java()

It seems to not like Java or can't see my version of Java. Can anyone assist me in getting this to work?

First make sure that you have java installed and it's in your PATH:

Code:

which java

. If you get nothing run

Code:

locate java

to see if you can find it in a directory not in your PATH. If not d/l and install the latest jre 1.5.06 and then make a symlink to the place you installed jre, i.e:

Code:

ln -s /path/to/jre/bin/java /usr/bin

Regards

I just installed it and had the same problems.
Open the file unFrost.sh with a text editor like gedit/leafpad and convert the line delimiters to CL. The script must have been written in a windows environment.
