PDE does not start on ubuntu 9.04
May 18th, 2010, 7:35am  
hi
i'm new here and would really appreciate it if some one could please explain to me how to get PDE running on ubuntu 9.04.
i downloaded and extracted the linux file from the processing website to my home dir. tried to open the PDE by double clicking the processing file in the main folder. nothing happened. so i installed java 6 jdk and jre from sun microsystems. but still can't get the PDE to start. any help from anyone is greatly appreciated.

run it from within a terminal and see if there's an error message

Just make sure the script is executable.

It seems very unlikely to me that the processing script has the wrong file permissions  (which is what your problem looks like to me). Simple solution if that is the case:-
chmod +x processing

You shouldn't need the sun-jdk, however if you want to use that instead of the one supplied with the ide it is more complicated (but thats what I do because I use the the sun jdk with netbeans).
