STARTUP ERROR!

Is this the first time you've attempted to install/use it? Have you attempted any fresh reinstalls of the program?
The only time I had a startup issue with Frostwire was after the installation of one of its dependencies locked up. Reinstallation of the dependency fixed that issue.

The first time I used it was when I stillhad Vista on my computer, dual booting Ubuntu.
I had to reinstall after I wiped everything reinstalling Ubuntu and wiping Windows.
Since then I have installed Frostwire, uninstalled it, and reinstalled to no avail.

Did you also install the newest version of Ubuntu then, after you wiped your system?

yup

Try the following instructions from the ubuntu forums. The text in blue is just a direct copy-paste. I haven't installed Jaunty yet, so I haven't run into the issue.
