My system: SuSE 9.3 Pro on an AMD64 in 64 bit mode Java 2 SDK: 1.4.2_06 on SuSE DVD (For enterprise I'm somewhat conservative!!) 1. After installation the following bash script files ar not properly set for execution: /install/platform5/lib/nbexec /install/bin/netbeans Solution: activated execute flag on both files! "/install/" must be substituted by the specified install directory. I have chosen for "/opt/netbeans-4.1". 2. I installed netbeans 4.1 under root, but the default install directory reads: "/netbeans-4.1" It should read: "/opt/netbeans-4.1/"
It is known issue. It was alerady fixed in main trunk for NB 4.2. As workaround you can either use zip distribution or use 32bit JDK to run installer. Use -is:javahome <path to JDK> command line option and point to 32bit JDK. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 49621 ***
I see you use JDK 1.4.2_X which is only 32bit. If this does not work then use zip distribution. I tested with 32bit JDK 5.0_02 on RedHat EL 64bit and installer worked fine.
