Installation hangs and doesnot seem to complete. This is a 2.6.3 MyEclipse on Redhat 9.0. I have Eclipse 2.1.1 installed and jdk 1.3

Here is the debug info from the install

Srini,

The problem is that the installer is picking an IBM 1.3.0 JVM for the installation. Here’s a thread that explains how to set the LAX_VM environment variable to correct the issue.
