I guess you followed the install procedure described on the following
page. I ask this because in my initial attempts i thought jemboss would
automatically come out of the box when i install emboss.

http://emboss.sourceforge.net/Jemboss/install/standalone.html

The second thing to check would be whether you change your current
working directory to your ${JEMBOSS_INSTALL_DIR}/share/EMBOSS/jemboss
directory before running the runJemboss.sh script. If you find it
inconvenient to change directory each time before running the script you
can set the JEMBOSS_HOME variable at the top of the script to the above
directory.
