I downloaded Dropbox from the official site and then installed it via Ubuntu's software installer. A message advised me to restart my session, so I logged out and in. No Dropbox.

So I chose Dropbox by searching it and the clicking via Activities. The message about installing Dropbox and then about restarting Nautilus appeared. I made my choices, but no Dropbox.

From command line, I chose dopbox running - no Dropbox. dropbox start gives the following message:

Starting Dropbox...Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/dropbox", line 1535, in <module>
    ret = main(sys.argv)
  File "/usr/bin/dropbox", line 1524, in main
    result = commands[argv[i]](argv[i+1:])
  File "/usr/bin/dropbox", line 1395, in start
    if not start_dropbox():
  File "/usr/bin/dropbox", line 732, in start_dropbox
    stderr=sys.stderr, stdout=f, close_fds=True)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 390, in __init__
    errread, errwrite)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 1025, in _execute_child
    raise child_exception
OSError: [Errno 8] Exec format error

I've tried this over and over with exactly the same result. Anybody know how to install Dropbox?
