Comment 1 Jan Chalupa 2005-11-17 08:02:36 UTC

Known problem with some Linux distributions -- a missing 'bc' utility.
Unfortunately, this is an InstallShiled limitation/bug.

See the Troubleshooting section of the Installation Guide for more info:

http://www.netbeans.org/community/releases/50/install.html

Also see issue #65482.
