Following steps were taken to install vuze:
$ wget http://cf1.vuze.com/files/VuzeInstaller.tar.bz2
$ tar -xjvf VuzeInstaller.tar.bz2
$ sudo rm -rf /opt/vuze*
$ sudo mv vuze /opt/vuze
$ sudo ln -sf /opt/vuze/vuze /usr/bin/vuze
vuze
as root!? 2. What is the output oftype vuze
? Are you sure you're running the one in/opt
and not something else? I just ran the exact same commands you give in your question and could load vuze (as root, even!) with no errors.
