Dear all,
I'm a new user of Gephi. I was able to get it installed without a problem on my work PC, but am struggling to install it on my personal Mac. I've downloaded the application, and when I click on it in the disk image, it works exactly as expected. The interface loads, I'm able to open my files, etc.
However, when I drag it to my application folder (or anywhere else on my computer), the application won't load. The window opens, it reads "Opening Main Window..." for a few moments. Here's a screenshot of what I get. Nothing shows up under File, Workspace, View, Tools, or Window, although I do have options under Plugins. The little red minus sign in the bottom right corner reads "Unexpected Exception: java.lang.NullPointerException." It also appears initially when I open Gephi off the disk image, then goes away shortly.
I've tried making sure that I have Java 6 (I do and it seems to be activated, confirmed with Terminal). I've tried restarting. I've tried deleting it and my directory, re-downloading and reinstalling. Any suggestions on how to proceed would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Help Installing Gephi
Same problem here.
First it wouldn't launch at all, then I installed Java.
It still wouldn't launch, I tried to run 'Java VisualVM' just for the heck of it. Then it prompted me to install the JRE, which I did.
Now Gephi launches, but sits at the main window (unloaded, gray background) and menu items on my Mac are unloaded.

+1
I had the same exact situation on mac (OS X Mountain Lion, 64bit)
I should add that at first trial few days ago (after having performed the Java install) it worked.
Then i deleted it and re-installed it today, but nothing. same grey workspace and empty menus.
Here's the error it gave:
BUT
after i deleted the old gephi folder in
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Application Support (beware of the space character)
everything went back to normal!
Hope this helps.

Re: Help Installing Gephi
I only wanted to say THANK YOU to Cartowsky. This bug was driving me crazy.
Re: Help Installing Gephi
I had the same problem on Ubuntu, which drove me crazy.
A solution is to delete this hidden folder /home/NAME/.gephi/
