I downloaded spark_2_6_3.tar.gz from http://www.igniterealtime.org/downloads/index.jsp.

After extracting the file and cding into Spark, I ran both ./starter and ./Spark but the messenger client is not running. I am using Ubuntu 11.10, 64 bit.

One of a few things might be wrong:

  1. Your script your trying to run isn't executable

  2. You version of Java is not quite right for the Spark client:

    sudo apt-get install galternatives

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ferramroberto/java

    sudo apt-get update

    sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk sun-java6-plugin

    (then use Gnome galternatives GUI to set the default)

  3. Something else...

    sun-java6 does not exist in the repositories since 11.10. This is because Oracle's licensing on Java is incompatible with Ubuntu's packaging license requirements. Refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java for information about how to install Oracle java – Thomas Ward Apr 13 '12 at 23:04
  • It requires Sun java to work, java 1.6 is apparently supported and works for me – tomodachi Nov 12 '12 at 22:22
