There is another bug which can cause this
Excuse me for posting in English, but I ran into exactly this same problem, and in fact there is a bug in the installer which can cause this. Most Linux distros should come with uudecode. You probably have it. There is something else which can cause this.
If there is a space in the path name leading to the j2me installation file and you try to run it, you will get that error. For example, if the file is in:
/home/chiral/My\ Downloads/j2me...bin
and you simply execute:
~/My\ Downloads/j2me...bin
it will fail with the error you reported. It should work, but it doesn't. This is a bug. The workaround is to just move the file to another directory.
I'm putting this in here so that Google will pick it up next time someone encounters this. Again, apologies for posting in English.
