I did as you suggested, but I must be missing something. The extracted files contain only one which is executable; that is a sh script, which must require some editing.

No.  Do not edit that file!

Arduino's download is meant to be a complete, stand-alone package, except for having a Java JRE on your machine. It coes with RXTX, the AVR toolchain and other stuff, all built in.

Hundreds of thousands of people use this software. The lions share are on Windows and Mac, but lately Linux is a pretty big chunk. This software really does work, without editing its startup script. Many thousands of people use it successfully, without doing the stuff you're trying to do.

Get rid of the RXTX and other stuff Ubuntu provided. They're ancient and incompatible. You don't need that stuff.

You're just causing yourself a world of grief by trying to do things not the way they were meant to be done. If you're editing the Arduino source before you've even run it successfully, I don't think anyone can really help you remotely by email.
