Note: This application uses and older version of Java. The version is here:
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.1_02-b06)
This can be downloaded from here:
http://java.sun.com/products/archive/j2se/1.4.1_02/index.html
The application does not seem to handle 1.4.2 nor any of the later JVM's too well. So you probably should install the older one. I selected the self-extracting package and installed in my home directory. These instructions use the jvm that was supplied with the installer. The Sun JDK instructions are also indicated.
If you did install the older JDK, you only need to set the home directory "JDKHOME" and run the suggested install procedure. For anything else, you can use these instructions, they appear to work every time.

Installation that works on Linux - Ubuntu Gutsy
1. Create a temporary directory to extract the Linux files
mkdir /work/Download/saj4
2. Change to the directory
cd /work/Download/saj4
3. Extract the Linux files
../StructuralAnalysisForJava_LinuxSetup.bin -is:extract
4. Change to the temporary directory
cd saj4
5. Create a temporary jvm directory
mkdir jdk41
6. Change to the directory
cd jdk41
7. Extract the version of Java tha came with Installer
../Linux-Sun-1.4.1_02.bin
8. Change back to the saj4 directory
cd ../
9. Export Java home
export JDKHOME=/work/Download/saj4/jdk41
10. Create the target directory. "~/saj4" is a good choicei [it's your
home directory].
sudo mkdir ~/saj4
11. Do the installation.
java -jar StructuralAnalysisForJavaSetup.jar
Note: Make sure you specify the correct installation path in the
GUI. The default uses a windows path.

For A Debug trace while installing:
java -Dis.debug=1 -jar StructuralAnalysisForJavaSetup.jar
12. Fix the startup scripts.
Here are two runtime possibilities:
A)
For using your existing JVM:
Edit the two shell scripts in the saj4 directory:
StructuralAnalysisForJava.sh
StructuralAnalysisForJavaCommandLine.sh
Change the './_jvm/bin/java' to just 'java'
B)
Or use this for running with the j2sdk1.4.1_02
Edit the two shell scripts in the saj4 directory:
StructuralAnalysisForJava.sh
StructuralAnalysisForJavaCommandLine.sh
Change the './_jvm/bin/java' to just '~/j2sdk1.4.1_02/bin/java'
Note: the above assumes you installed the 1.4.1 jdk in your home directory
13. Run it:
~/saj4/StructuralAnalysisForJava.sh
