Installing smartpls on linux
Posted: Fri Oct 26, 2012 7:51 am
Hello Christian,
I have watched the video manuals and I am really looking forward to using smartpls.
I have downloaded the linux zip file and unzipped it. Then I changed the mode of the file smartpls to executable (I do not know if this is the right executable file, but it seemd the best candidate). When I run ./smartpls I see the openeing graphic for a second and then an error message pointing me to the log file. The log file starts like this:
!SESSION 2012-10-26 09:45:21.023 -----------------------------------------------
eclipse.buildId=unknown
java.version=1.6.0_24
java.vendor=Sun Microsystems Inc.
BootLoader constants: OS=linux, ARCH=x86, WS=gtk, NL=en_US
Command-line arguments: -os linux -ws gtk -arch x86
!ENTRY org.eclipse.osgi 4 0 2012-10-26 09:45:21.553
!MESSAGE An error occurred while automatically activating bundle de.smartpls.platform.ui (57).
!STACK 0
org.osgi.framework.BundleException: Exception in de.smartpls.platform.ui.UiPlugin.start() of bundle de.smartpls.platform.ui.
at org.eclipse.osgi.framework.internal.core.BundleContextImpl.startActivator(BundleContextImpl.java:1014)
at org.eclipse.osgi.framework.internal.core.BundleContextImpl.start(BundleContextImpl.java:970)
at org.eclipse.osgi.framework.internal.core.BundleHost.startWorker(BundleHost.java:317)
etc.
So it seems that it is using java 1.6.24, which should be ok. I only unzipped the file I downloaded, not the .jar files or any other archive inside it. What am I doing wrong please.
I am running ubuntu 12.04 on a 64-bit machine.
Thanks.
Josef
