This is not a good error. If you get this just after it says Using Java Excutable: … , you might not have a pulsarhunter.jar file. This could be because you have downloaded a bad file. If this is the case, either get the source code and compile a new pulsarhunter.jar or get in touch.

Always use the latest release as earlier versions may have serious bugs (This is new software after all).
Unless you are planning to change the code, always use the Full Install option.
Unless you are planning to change the code, always use the ‘release’ option (rather than the ‘src’ version).

If all has gone well, this should be the end of the installation! It is highly probable however that something is not working, so first let’s test it:

All the useful scripts are in $PULSARHUNTER_HOME/scripts/, so you might want to add this to your $PATH, else just call them on that path.

If you get a nasty looking Java error with the following header
Exception in thread “main” java.lang.UnsuportedClassVersionError: pulsarhunter/PulsarHunter (Unsuported major.minor version 49.0)
It means that pulsarhunter tried to start with java version less than 1.5.
This is can be fixed by installing Java 1.5 or greater. Install to your chosen path, and add the following to $PULSARHUNTER_HOME/scripts/includes/env export JAVA_HOME=“/path/to/base/java/dir”
If you are getting a java: No such file or directory, it means that your JAVA_HOME is pointing to the wrong place. It must point to a sensible directory that has bin/ and lib/ subdirectories (e.g. /usr /usr/java /home/freddy/java etc).
If one of the native libraries failed to load, probably a library file is missing or not valid for your system. This may be a more difficult error to fix. First check the directory $PULSARHUNTER_HOME/lib/ (the this should be the same as the directory listed next to libdir in the output from pulsarhunter). The relevant files are the lib*.so files. The .jar files are java libraries and will not cause native library errors. Use ‘file’ or some other similar program to test the libraries to check they are rel event for your architecture. If not you will need to get the source code and recompile. This is available in the pulsarhunter source code under the src/native directory. There should be relevant build scripts in those directories.
