Hey,

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like you're running something like

java -jar /usr/local/quelea/Quelea.jar

...from the "/home/clinton/Downloads" directory - hence setting your current 
directory to a different one Quelea is in (and thus Quelea will search for 
everything in the wrong place!)

Try navigating to the folder and launching directly, eg:

"cd /usr/local/Quelea && java -jar quelea.jar"

If that doesn't work then please let me know and I'll look into it further!

I'll close this as invalid for now assuming the above is true (just tidying 
tickets up a bit) - if not let me know and I'll happily reopen!
