Thank you all very much for your help.
My experience with Linux is very very limited. I am slowing trying to
move from Windows to Linux as I've had enough of MS changing everything
every few years.
The odd thing is that the installation in Ubuntu works fine with some of
the updates and it does not with some others.
I'll try to follow your suggestions and maybe get in touch again if it
does not work. Right now, I am on my old XP machine.
Cheers
Andrea

No direct experience with MorphoJ on Ubuntu, but the following might be
relevant and of general value to some: 1) The message suggests you (or
the system) are (is) trying to execute the .jar file. You should be
executing java and telling it to use the .jar file: java -jar
MorphoJ-installer_Unix_Linux.jar OSX (Mac) appears to automatically
recognize the .jar and do the right thing, though you need to tweak
something to provide parameters like additional virtual-machine memory.
In my experience, Windows knows .jar files, but treats them as archives
if downloaded from the internet - my version of XP, at least. Hence, the
two ways to download 3D-ID (http://www.3d-id.org/downloads). I suppose I
should wrap everything in a .zip file. Ubuntu should do something
reasonable, but you need to check. Does it have java installed? Can you
click or dbl-click on other .jar files? 2) If you did want to run a
downloaded file from the internet on unix/OSX, you need to explicitly
set the executable bit (a reasonable security precaution). E.g., from
the command line: prompt$ ls -l shrink.sh might show -rw-r--r--@ 1
dslice staff 1200 Nov 26 2007 shrink.sh the 'r's mean the user/owner of
the file, members of the files "group", and everyone else ("other") can
read the file. The 'w' means the owner/user can write/change file, but
no one else (indicated by dashes). And, no one, not even the owner can
execute the file (this one is a script/batch file for rescaling a bunch
of images). The owner's permissions are in positions 2-4, the group's
5-7, and everyone else's in 8-10. To allow, say, yourself (assuming you
are the owner) the ability to execute the script, you would have to
change the mode of the file with "chmod": prompt$ chmod u+x shrink.sh
prompt$ ls -l shrink.sh -rwxr--r--@ 1 dslice staff 1200 Nov 26 2007
shrink.sh Notice the fourth position now has an 'x' meaning the owner,
dslice, can execute the file. It is a bit confusing (to me, at least)
that owner permissions are designated by 'u' for "user", with everyone
else's are indicated by 'o' meaning "other". I inevitably get this wrong
when I haven't done it in a while. Thankfully, 'g' refers to "group"
permissions. The terminal '@' means there are extended attributes not
displayed on this OS and the initial '-' would be the file type -
"regular" in this case, but often 'd' for directory or 'l' for "link" to
another file. -ds On 9/28/11 1:41 PM, morphmet wrote: > > > --------
