Whoops! Well try:

>~/j807$ ./jconsole.sh
bin/jconsole: error while loading shared libraries: libedit.so.2:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Well...

>~/j807/bin$ ls
icons          jbrk      jhs      profile.ijs installer.txt  jconsole
libj.so  profilex_template.ijs

the directory (actually a symlink) is there, but...

>~/j807/bin$ cd jconsole
-bash: cd: jconsole: Not a directory

Any suggestion? Perhaps .deb packaging now?
