I could not get jqt running with the method described in
http://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/System/Installation/Zips. Then I went
back to your post, and followed the instructions there, and they
worked. I now have a working version of J8.06, albeit with a
Segmentation Error when I close.
Here's what I did:
My computer has an i7-5600U processor so I downloaded
j806_linux64.tar.gz to my desktop.
copied j64-806 to /home/brian as instructed.
invoked the file manager and navigated to the /home/brian/j64-806
directory.
double-clicked on jconsole.sh and nothing happened.
opened a terminal and navigated to j64-806.
entered ./jconsole.sh and the jconsole opened.
entered load '~addons/ide/jhs/installer.ijs' and nothing happened.
I was back at the console prompt.
At this point I went back and reread your post and entered:
install 'qtide'
install 'all'
After these were finished I exited the console and ran ./jqt.sh.
The J Term window appeared and seems to behave correctly. When I closed
it the following error message appeared in the terminal:
./jqt.sh: line 8: 30802 Segmentation fault bin/jqt
When I double click jconsole.sh in the file manager nothing happens.
When I double click jqt.sh Term is invoked.
I put a J8.06 launcher on the desktop and it works fine.
