I tried to install Netbeans 6 Beta 2 on Linux (Ubuntu 7.10 gutsy) and get the following error: $ ./netbeans-6.0beta2-linux.sh $ Configuring the installer... $ Searching for JVM on the system... $ Extracting installation data... $ Running the installer wizard... $ /usr/share/themes/Clearlooks/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:42: error: lexical error or unexpected token, expected valid token The installer stops with a blank/grey dialog after this error. After changing the theme to Human: $ /usr/share/themes/Human/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:71: Engine "ubuntulooks" is unsupported, ignoring $ /usr/share/themes/Human/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:242: Priority specification is unsupported, ignoring $ java -version java version "1.6.0_03" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_03-b05) Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 1.6.0_03-b05, mixed mode)
Symptoms are very similir to descriped in the Issue 117172. Most probalby it is the Swing bug. Try the workaround (export AWT_TOOLKIT=MToolkit) and reopen the issue if it doesn`t work for you. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 117172 ***
