I can't run shell script apps like celtx and alchemy in 13.04. I downloaded Java but the apps still don't run.

[Sylvanus Dadzie]

When I downloaded the script writing software, celtx, and extracted it, it wouldn't run. Celtx is a shell script app. I uploaded the free java runtime software but it still doesn't run. I also tried to run the image generating software, alchemy, and it also doesn't run. Alchemy is a java software. If you go to celtx.com and al.chemy.org, you'll see the software I'm talking about.

Tested in Zorin 7 and several flavors of Ubuntu 13.04- Cannot run "Second Life" viewers - that worked under 12.04 with no problems-- when I use sh or bash or just try to run the file in the terminal it simply types out the text of the script file. The script is executable and with proper user permissions. Loads of people are having the same problem with this and other scripts... all of which seem to have worked just fine under 12.04 and 12.10.

I have Java SE Runtime Environment- Build 1.7.0_25-b15 With Java HotSpot 64-Bit Server VM- build 23.25-b01, mixed mode running. We are seeing more complaints about "Second Life" viewers not running on the full array of Ubuntu 13.04 distros. At this point he only solution might be to consider going back to 12.04/12.10 until some solution is provided.

Use wine to install the windows version just like I've done.
I'm running 13.04 and I use Celtx.

Ubuntu 13.04 is an excellent OS with detail improvements, don't stress it.
