I want to run sqldeveloper on Ubuntu Gnome 14.04.

I created some symbolic link and tried to call from one script file another.

And it fail with message:

/usr/local/bin/sqldeveloper: line 2: cd: /usr/local/bin/sqldeveloper/bin: Not a directory

Here is my spteps:

Linking over an in-path launcher for Oracle SQL Developer:

sudo ln -s /opt/sqldeveloper/sqldeveloper.sh /usr/local/bin/sqldeveloper

Edit /usr/local/bin/sqldeveloper.sh replace it's content to:

#!/bin/bash
unset GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID
sh sqldeveloper_launcher.sh

Content of sqldeveloper_launcher.sh:

#!/bin/bash
cd /opt/sqldeveloper/sqldeveloper/bin
./sqldeveloper "$@"

Run SQL Developer is next:

sqldeveloper

But if I put content of sqldeveloper_launcher.sh into sqldeveloper.sh it works (it means that it really running sqldeveloper, but it fails at runtime with error can't run sqldeveloper on Ubuntu).

How to solve this trouble?

    I'm little bit confused, anyway, `sqldeveloper_laucher.sh` is bash script and you invoke it with `sh`, you should use bash instead or `.`. After this, the error you got seems due to some broken link, try `namei -mo /opt/sqldeveloper/sqldeveloper/bin` and finally I guess that step: `Edit /usr/local/bin/sqldeveloper.sh replace it's content to:` really was `Edit /usr/local/bin/sqldeveloper replace it's content to:` isn't it? – Lety Sep 01 '14 at 23:55

    cd /opt/sqldeveloper/sqldeveloper/bin
    unset GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_FALLBACK
    ./sqldeveloper "$@"

This will fix your problem
