  When I first ran it, I had the same problem.  Then I noticed that
there was a prompt window behind the splash screen.  I was able to 
grab the edge and pull the window over and answer the prompt.

  Linux expr has different options then the FreeBSD expr.  I ignore 
  these errors since they are testing paths and my install is working.

  I wrote a wrapper script to handle this,

=============================================

#!/usr/local/bin/zsh

cd ~/src/Java/sqldeveloper/sqldeveloper/bin/
bash ./sqldeveloper $@

=============================================

...you could also link /usr/local/bin/bash to /bin/bash.
