When I ran spring in a termianl, I also had a message that came after it saying:Using configuration source: "/home/administrator/.springrc"

I tried downloading the source to compile it, however, being a noob with computers, I double clicked on the executable provided and was interested to find that the screen that showed for the execuatble was the same that had been dissapearing suddenly, except this time, with this specifically provided executable, the screen didn't dissapear instantly. I'm running linux mint 15 and here is the output of uname -a:
Linux GLaDOS 3.11.0-12-generic #19-Ubuntu SMP Wed Oct 9 16:20:46 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Any and all help on this matter is appreciated, alothough I have a funny feeling that I'm just missing a library (which has been the case recently).
