Installing text-analysis on Lubuntu

[travis39]

I'm having trouble installing the application "text analysis". I'm running Lubuntu 12.04.

I'm following the instructions to build from source, shown here: sourceforge.net/userapps/trac/kostia76/wiki/BuildFromSource

I have the system requirements JDK 7 and Tomcat 7.

The terminal commands go smoothly. Near the end of the process it says to run "firefox reports/junit.html" and that the results are supposed to be green. But the chart is colored orange, with no green anywhere.

I skip over it anyway, and run the final command, "ant create.dist".

And that's it. No way to open it, no icon or desktop file. I have the files in the directory, but I can't do anything with them.

Anyone have any ideas? I know enough to follow terminal directions, but don't have a lot of understanding of what's happening under the hood, so try and keep any response simple if you can. Thanks.

Just because you installed jdk 7.x does not mean that it is now your default Java installation. You can have multiple java versions installed, and sometimes it is a PITA to get the correct one working with your stuff. Post the output of the command "ls -l /usr/java" as well as the command "ls -l /usr/bin/java" here.

output of "ls -l /usr/java"
ls: cannot access /usr/java: No such file or directory

output of "ls -l /usr/bin/java"
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 May 12 11:35 /usr/bin/java -> /etc/alternatives/java

Ok. Now post the output of the command "java -version".

[travis39]

java version "1.6.0_24"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.11.3) (6b24-1.11.3-1ubuntu0.12.04.1)
OpenJDK Server VM (build 20.0-b12, mixed mode)

Well, this is not Java 7 - it is Java 6. How did you install the package? Where did you get it from?

[travis39]

I think I got it from the Java website. I thought I installed Java 7 from Syaptic. Looking again it looks like I have something called OpenJDK Java 7 Policy Tool. I guess that's not the same as Java 7? Checking on Java.com, the verification tool says I have Version 6 Update 24. I'll try upgrading and let you know if that helps.

[Rubberman]

Yes. You want to get Java 7 from the Oracle web site: Java Downloads for All Operating Systems and install that. You may have to update the symbolic links in /usr/bin to point to the Java 7 installation, which should end up in /usr/java.

I'm running into trouble installing Java 7. I'm following the directions at java.com/en/download/help/linux_install.xml

I input the following: % tar zxvf jre-7u<version>-linux-i586.tar.gz
and get this in response: bash: fg: %: no such job

I don't know where to go next.

[travis39]

Correction. I input: % tar zxvf jre-7u5-linux-i586.tar.gz

...but still get the same response (It's step 4 on the java.com instructions page)
