On step 9 I didn’t get anything on the file error.log Yet I proceeded to install the libraries hoping to get it to work However I couldn’t launched from the desktop, so I run:
$ /opt/spark/Spark
And get:
Error: Could not find or load main class com.install4j.runtime.launcher.Launcher
I read here Installing Spark IM Client in Ubuntu Linux that it may be a Java Virtual Machine issue so I’m putting my version of java:
$ java -version
java version “1.6.0_24”
Java™ SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_24-b07)
Java HotSpot™ 64-Bit Server VM (build 19.1-b02, mixed mode)
I don’t have Ubuntu 14.04 anymore. But on 15.04 x86 i cd into Spark folder in cmd and run ./Spark (then i just add it to the Launcher and run it from there).
Thanks for providing this info. I have filed this as [SPARK-1657] Spark is missing install4j.tar.gz to startup on x64 Linux OS - Jive Software Open Source
