Hi, I'm trying to run rapid miner on Ubuntu but anytime I try either the scripts or simply
java -jar lib/rapidminer.jar the program quits with the following message.

any help on this would be appreciated,

    Hi Colin,
    which JRE do you use?

    Hi Colin,
    I'm very sorry, but I've never heard of this error. I know some Ubuntu installations running without problem.
    Hmm, the line of code tries to initialise the Cryptography engine. Perhabs your installation uses a different Cryptography Implementation, not supporting the, admittedly strange size of the key.
    I will ask the developer, why the keysize was chosen on 168 bit...

    Greetings,

    I had the same problem,

    it looks like the RapidMinerGUI script is doing evil things:

    it always runs a `which java` even if a JAVA_HOME has been specified on the begin of the script.
    so it tries to run RapidMinerGUI with gcj on my Ubuntu.
    You can try the code below and replace the first lines of your RapidMinerGUI script.
    It worked well on my Ubuntu 8.10 x86-64 with either the java 1.5 or the java 6 line
    make sure to uncomment exactly one of the JAVA_HOME lines
    and adjust RAPIDMINER_HOME 

    #!/bin/sh

    ## set the path to your RapidMiner installation here or in an environment variable
    #RAPIDMINER_HOME=${HOME}
    RAPIDMINER_HOME=${HOME}/Programme/rapidminer-4.3
    JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre
    #JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/jre
    ## set the maximum amount of memory Java uses here or in an environment variable
    MAX_JAVA_MEMORY=1024

    ## set the path to the files with additional operators here or in an environment variable
    #RAPIDMINER_OPERATORS_ADDITIONAL=

    if [ -z "${RAPIDMINER_HOME}" ] ; then
        BIN_DIR=`dirname "$0"`
        RAPIDMINER_HOME=`dirname "${BIN_DIR}"`
        echo "RAPIDMINER_HOME is not set. Trying the directory '${RAPIDMINER_HOME}'..."
    fi 

    if [ -z "${JAVA_HOME}" ] ; then
        echo "JAVA_HOME is not set. Edit $0 and/or your local startup files."
        exit 1
    else
    #    _jfnd="`which java`"
    #    if [ -x "${_jfnd}" ]; then
    #       JAVA="${_jfnd}"
    #    elif [ -x  "${JAVA_HOME}/bin/java" ]; then
        if [ -x  "${JAVA_HOME}/bin/java" ]; then
           JAVA="${JAVA_HOME}/bin/java"
        else
          echo 'could not found the `java? executable in default path or ${JAVA_HOME}/bin/java.'
          echo "Edit $0 and/or your local startup files."
          exit 1
        fi
        unset _jfnd
    fi

    if [ -z "${MAX_JAVA_MEMORY}" ] ; then
        MAX_JAVA_MEMORY=512
        echo "No maximum Java memory defined, using 512 Mb..."
    fi

    ...snip

    good luck

    same problem here on debian lenny and RapidMiner 4.4
    It happens with both java versions and with both 32-bit and 64-bit.

    I already adjusted the JAVA_HOME and RAPIDMINER_HOME

    plz help, thx
