Hi Greg,

That could confirm what they say here (rxtx is broken in older ubuntu):
http://jmri.sourceforge.net/install/Ubuntu.shtml

Easy peasy is based upon the older 8.10 and then that does seem broken,
I have eeebuntu on the netbook (based on 9.04) and thats fine.

Anyway, installing is very easy. 
The files you need are in the jpskmail directory:
1. cd to the jpskmail folder
2. copy the files to the system java path:
sudo cp librxtxSerial.so /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.10/jre/lib/i386/
sudo cp lib/RXTXcomm.jar /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.10/jre/lib/ext

You may have another version of java so it may be java-6-sun-1.6.0.14 or
so instead, just type java-6-sun-1 and hit tab.
