java.lang.NullPointerException





And i don't understand why. Using latest version of java.





Thanks for help.

Hi,


Do you use Linux in graphical mode? The Marvin Beans installer is a GUI based application.


If you have, please check your Java. The installer and ChemAxon products support only Sun distributed Java on Linux platform.


You can find more details in these documents:


Installation Guide for Linux


System Requirements

when installing marvinbeans i use konsole, but linux run in graphical mode. java from sun microsystem.

Probably the file is damaged. Try to download it again.

i do this 4 times. problem not disolving.

Try to install it as a normal user (not "root") and launch it from another directory whose name includes only English alphabetical characters. Probably, the installer can not handle properly non-English characters. (The installer script is generated automatically by Install4j that is a third party software. We do not know about any compatibility issue of the installer under Linux by any (Middle-)East European language but it does not mean that it cannot be.)





If the above tip does not help, download the cross-platform version of Marvin Beans. It is a zip compressed version of the package. Just extract it and use.


Download


If the proper Java is available on your machine, Marvin applications will run.


If not, it means there is configuration problem with your Java:


- The bin directory of your JRE is missing from the PATH.


- Another Java (not the Sun distributed one) is in the PATH.





You can verify current java with the following statement:

Code:

java -version

You should get something like that (of course your Java version may be newer than mine):

Code:

java version "1.6.0_02" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_02-b06) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.6.0_02-b06, mixed mode, sharing)

thanks for help. problem dissolved. My Java was nonfunctional, but now all works properly.
