Ubuntu Smartgit won't start

I'm trying to get smartgit running开发者_Go百科 on Ubuntu, and I'm constantly getting this error:

Disabling SSE42Intrinsics to work around bug 6875866.
An incompatible Java version has been detected which has been reported to cause strange bugs. Aborting now. To force SmartGit to use this Java version, set the VM property     smartgit.checkIncompatibleJava to false (use at your own risk).

Please install the latest release of the SUN Java SE Runtime Environment (JRE) from:
  http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/
or if it is already installed, make sure it is used.

The nabble support forum doesn't work at this very moment, and I can't find any --working-- installation documentation.

I've tried to download the JRE from the link given in the readme-linux.txt file, but that bige me a single .bin file.

I've also installed the sun-java6-jre package from the synaptic manager, and notice I already had the following package installed:

• default-jre,
• openjdk-6-jre-lib
• gcj-4.x-jre-lib.

Adding sun-java6-jre didn't helped.

How can I get smartgit installed correctly ?

Try this tutorial http://solaajayi.wordpress.com/2011/01/04/installing-smartgit-in-ubuntu-linux-10-04/

After this tutorial I've got smartgit on my ubuntu system.

Step1 Dowload 2 files from SUN site as specified in the readme-linux.txt

jre-6u24-linux-i586-rpm.bin (installer script) and jre-6u24-linux-i586.bin (actual jre-1.6)

Step2 Run as root and chmod the installer script file

$> su - $> chmod +x jre-6u24-linux-i586-rpm.bin

Step3 Execute the installer script

$> ./jre-6u24-linux-i586-rpm.bin //Script shows "Done" at the end of the installation.

Step4 Point to the right installation of java Get current java source and version in case you need to undo the java switch

$> which java $> java -version java version "1.6.0_20" OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.9.7) (fedora-52.1.9.7.fc14-i386) OpenJDK Server VM (build 19.0-b09, mixed mode)

$> file /usr/bin/java /usr/bin/java: symbolic link to `/etc/alternatives/java'

Step5 Switch between to the SUN java from OpenJDK $> ln -f -s /usr/java/jre1.6.0_24/bin/java /usr/bin/java

Step6 Check if the switch worked

$> java -version java version "1.6.0_24" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_24-b07) Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 19.1-b02, mixed mode)

For detailed instructions on installing jre1.6 see the link

You need to install openjdk-7-jre Use sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jre

SmartGit 3 (currently available as preview) works fine and out-of-the-box with OpenJDK.
