I get these errors when trying to run minecraft.

ian@ian-Beast:~$ cd ~/.minecraft
ian@ian-Beast:~/.minecraft$ cd /.bin
bash: cd: /.bin: No such file or directory
ian@ian-Beast:~/.minecraft$ cd ./bin
ian@ian-Beast:~/.minecraft/bin$ java -jar minecraft.jar

    ... 6 more

Any clues on how to fix?

Just realized...you are running minecraft directly, you don't run minecraft from the bin directory, you run it from the launcher.

Launcher is located on the minecraft.net site

https://s3.amazonaws.com/MinecraftDownload/launcher/minecraft.jar

Same name, different programs

If that doesn't help refer to the following...

Install Java 6 runtime and run minecraft.jar using it. This solved the problem for me.

For Minecraft on Linux, I've often found that you have to manually delete and reinstall the lwjgl libraries. This would make sense, because the errors you're getting are referencing lwjgl. Here's a link on how to do that.
