I'm running Ubuntu 12.10 and I'm trying to install Netbeans 7.1(or later) I have the .sh file, but it won't install, the error appears here:
[2013-06-27 19:11:28.918]: at org.netbeans.installer.Installer.main(Installer.java:81)
[2013-06-27 19:11:28.918]: An error occured while initializing the NetBeans IDE installer UI.

[2013-06-27 19:11:28.919]: /root/.nbi/log/20130627191128.log
I don't have the libXtst.so.6 file in any directory, and I can't seem to find it anywhere to download. Has anyone else run into this problem, or know a work around?
EDIT: As mentioned by Stephen Niedzielski in his comment, the issue seems to come from the 32-bit being of the JRE, which is de facto, looking for the 32-bit version of libXtst6. To install the required version of the library:
$ sudo apt-get install libxtst6:i386
Type:
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install libxtst6
If this isn’t OK, type:
$ sudo updatedb
$ locate libXtst
it should return something like:
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libXtst.so.6 # Mine is OK
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libXtst.so.6.1.0
If you do not have libXtst.so.6 but do have libXtst.so.6.X.X create a symbolic link:
$ cd /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/
$ ln -s libXtst.so.6 libXtst.so.6.X.X
