Marta: To find out which version of Java you have, open your Terminal application and type in "java -version" (without the quote marks) and press Return.
When I do that, I get: "Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_05-141.4) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2-38, mixed mode)" If you don't have the right version, you supposedly will get the message: "Segmentation Fault."
