Hi,
Basex772 jar file was installed into a directory /usr/local/basex A symbolic link was created:
cat >> /usr/local/bin/basex java -jar /usr/local/basex/basex772.jar
I guess the link was created by yourself and, if run, it starts the BaseX GUI? In that case, the following Java call should do what you need:
java -cp /usr/local/basex/basex772.jar org.basex.BaseX
You can optionally check out the following Wiki article to see what other startup options may be helpful:
http://docs.basex.org/wiki/Start_Scripts
Those scripts are already shipped with the BaseX ZIP version, which also includes support for building web applications, etc.
Hope this helps, Christian
