I am failing to install JMF on my machine.
My setup is:
I have followed the instructions from oracle found here. All they say is to execute /bin/sh ./jmf-2_1_1e-linux-i586.bin. Which basically just runs the .bin file that they provide.
Nevertheless, during installation, I get the following error:
Unpacking...
tail: cannot open '+309' for reading: No such file or directory
Extracting...
./install.sfx.23041: 1: ./install.sfx.23041: cannot open ==: No such file

/bin/cp: cannot stat 'JMF-2.1.1e/lib/jmf.properties': No such file or directory
Done.
It seems that the error is related to directories not existing, but I can't seem to find the solution.
Thank you in advance!
The problem is in this line of that .bin file:
tail +309 $0 > $outname
It seems it's missing -n option, as it's needed to get last 309 lines of output, you'll need to change it to:
tail -n +309 $0 > $outname
To do that you can edit it with vim providing -b (for binary) option:
vim -b jmf-2_1_1e-linux-i586.bin
