Have a look at the Frostwire page on the Wiki for installing it:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FrostWire

My best bet is that your Java isn't up to date.. this guide provides information on updating Java.

Be sure you have java installed is required by Limewire or Frostwire...

Get the .deb packages from http://www.frostwire.com/?id=downloads
and select open with gdebi.

Install it.

How to install Java

To install sun-java6

Please first enable the multiverse repository:

Close and confirm the repository reload.

Then open a Terminal from the menu Applications → Accessories → Terminal and type:

sudo aptitude update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo aptitude install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin

give your user password when requested, you don't see nothing when you type it, then press enter.
