[protege-discussion] Running protege 3.2.1 on Linux using includedJRE

[Daniel Holbert]

This is a known problem affecting many scripts in Ubuntu edgy.  It's 
because Edgy uses "dash" instead of "bash" to provide the "sh" 
program.  (bash is much more widely used, but dash is smaller)

More info the issue here:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dash/+bug/61463

To fix it, try installing protege using bash instead of sh:
  bash install_protege.bin

It lets you choose the install location during the install process.  I 
installed it into /home/dholbert/programs/Protege3.2.1

I think it's just that no one's ever made a package for it.  But it's 
open source, so feel free to do so if you want. :)  (If any protege 
developers want to do this, it'd be awesome)
