Hello,

This is due to some bashisms in these files. You need to remove the "function" keyword before the functions' definitions. If you're not sure of what you are doing,
sed -i -e "s/^function //" vlmad vlmaw vlma-env.sh
should do the trick (run this command inside the bin folder of VLMa).

thanks jpountz ,
Now have new error :
:~/vlma-0.2.0/bin$ ./vlmad start
[INFO] Starting VLMad.
[ERROR] JAVA_HOME is not defined.
[ERROR] You either need to install a JDK 5.0 or later,
[ERROR] or to set the JAVA_HOME environment variable if a JDK is already installed.
But i have java :
:~/vlma-0.2.0/bin$ java -version
java version "1.6.0_0"
IcedTea6 1.3.1 (6b12-0ubuntu6.1) Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_0-b12)
OpenJDK Client VM (build 1.6.0_0-b12, mixed mode, sharing)

Where is Java home in ubuntu

According to the output of java -version, you have installed a JRE, not a JDK. First you need to install a JDK (DK stands for development kit, whereas RE stands for Runtime Environment).

I think ubuntu installs JVMs in /usr/lib/jvm, so JAVA_HOME should be set to "/usr/lib/jvm/${jvm}" (replace ${jvm} by the name of the JVM you installed).
