I'm trying to run jconsole on Chrome OS. In both the chroot of Ubuntu that I have installed, and the normal Chrome OS shell, I receive the following error on both the 32- and 64-bit versions:
-bash: ./jconsole: cannot execute binary file
I'm not the best with UNIX systems, so I'm wondering if anyone can help me figure out why I can't run this on either Chrome OS or the ubuntu chroot.
Not that I can claim credit for this answer, but Eric Iverson recently suggested on the J forums that the best way to do this was to install a J server on a Unix server and then use a browser to access the server using the JHS frontend (works in any modern browser). It does require extra equipment and I expect that you had hoped that there was a version of J that would work in the Chrome OS, but when one of the developers of the language says run a browser in the Chrome OS and point it at a unix server running the J engine, I'd try that if you have not already.

If you already installed successfully hopefully it's just a syntax error:
jconsole instead of ./jconsoleIMPORTANT: You have to be in the chroot to run any regular Linux programs. The Chrome OS shell (crosh) doesn't allow installing anything as far as I know.
I'm on Chrome OS, using a chroot via crouton and playing with j801, including jconsole.
Since I have a 1st-gen Samsung ARM Chromebook, I downloaded the armhf version. If you're using an Intel-based device, pick something else, maybe linux32
dpkg -i j801_armhf.deb to install to ~/j801/usr/bin/jc -> /path/to/j801/bin/jconsole to easily start jconsole from any directory.See the installation instructions for more detail.
