Something went wrong with FrostWire.
Maybe you're using the wrong version of Java?
(FrostWire is tested against and works best with with Sun's JRE, Java 1.4+)
The version of Java in your PATH is:
java version "1.6.0_13"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_13-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 11.3-b02, mixed mode)

I have the latest version of java

java version "1.6.0_13"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_13-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 11.3-b02, mixed mode)

 When I download frostwire it will not open

please help me figure this out

thank you

problem solved

this is what I did , make sure you do a clean install of frostwire, before you download frostwire uninstall the current version of sun java 6 and install sun java 5 frostwire will detect 5 and download sun java6 after it downloads it will open and run. it did for me. I hope this helps anyone who has the same problem I had.

regards
giggy

I also had this problem after upgrade from 4.17 to 4.18. The frostwire installer deb is broken. Workaround here:
