Errors installing bsp in Arduino IDE

Hi, I installed Arduino IDE and am able to install other boards, e.g. Intel i586, but the hifive1 bsp is not installing and I got the following errors. The errors seem to be pointing to the index file which is working as I can see the list of boards available for installation. When I remove the sifive1 bsp http://static.dev.sifive.com/bsp/arduino/package_sifive_index.json from the Additional Boards Manager URL the errors would go away.

What platform are you running on?

I am seeing the same problem on Ubuntu 14.04 and Windows 7 Enterprise. Are they expected to work in these platforms?

Windows is not supported for the Arduino IDE. But, Ubuntu should work.

When do you get the above error, when you try to install the SiFive1 BSP (Tools->Boards-> Boards Manager) or just when you add the Additional URL to the Preferences Page?

Can you show a screenshot of the Preferences page where you’ve added the Additional URL?

The error happens when I try to install the sifive1 bsp (Tools->Boards->Boards Manager). Attached is a screenshot of the Preferences page.
