What am i doing wrong?

I am experiencing exactly the same problem.

If anyone can help...

The installer for Linux does not work. See

http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=17890

Remove jdkgcj or kaffe from your system and then rerun the installer. Provided, of course, that you have installed Sun's java jre or sdk (jre is faster than sdk I have been told).
