Re: SH3S installation as described for linux in website doesn't work
There are no symptoms , or at least the absence of any symptoms/response or error message IS the only symptom.

First i moved the uncompressed files to a directory (as per installation instruction) such as /SH3D/
Then using Nautilus I make sure SweetHome3D is executable and I change the default to action to "Run Software" instead of "open with Gedit"

When I click it the running icon starts spinning and nothing happens



This is the content of the script that DOESN'T run for version 5.4 (but it's the same for 6.2)
#!/bin/sh

# Retrieve Sweet Home 3D directory
PROGRAM=`readlink "$0"`
if [ "$PROGRAM" = "" ]; then
PROGRAM=$0
fi
PROGRAM_DIR=`dirname "$PROGRAM"`

# Run Sweet Home 3D
exec "$PROGRAM_DIR"/jre8/bin/java -Xmx1024m -classpath "$PROGRAM_DIR"/lib/SweetHome3D.jar:"$PROGRAM_DIR"/lib/Furniture.jar:"$PROGRAM_DIR"/lib/Textures.jar:"$PROGRAM_DIR"/lib/Help.jar:"$PROGRAM_DIR"/lib/iText-2.1.7.jar:"$PROGRAM_DIR"/lib/freehep-vectorgraphics-svg-2.1.1b.jar:"$PROGRAM_DIR"/lib/sunflow-0.07.3i.jar:"$PROGRAM_DIR"/lib/jmf.jar:"$PROGRAM_DIR"/lib/batik-svgpathparser-1.7.jar:"$PROGRAM_DIR"/lib/java3d-1.6/j3dcore.jar:"$PROGRAM_DIR"/lib/java3d-1.6/j3dutils.jar:"$PROGRAM_DIR"/lib/java3d-1.6/vecmath.jar:"$PROGRAM_DIR"/lib/java3d-1.6/gluegen-rt.jar:"$PROGRAM_DIR"/lib/java3d-1.6/jogl-java3d.jar:"$PROGRAM_DIR"/jre8/lib/javaws.jar -Djava.library.path="$PROGRAM_DIR"/lib/java3d-1.6 -Djogamp.gluegen.UseTempJarCache=false -Dcom.eteks.sweethome3d.applicationId=SweetHome3D#Installer com.eteks.sweethome3d.SweetHome3D -open "$1"

by comparison this is the sweethome3d.sh file from the installed version 4.5
that i found in /usr/share/sweethome3d

#!/bin/sh
