Precisely the same problem here. MyEclipse V.2.6.2 on RH 9 (updated with current patches), JDK_1.4.2_01, Eclipse v.2.1.1. I also run it on Win2K SP2 and there it runs.

No, “.eclipseproduct” was not under the eclipse directory. I did create one myself so as to kickstart the installer. The latter then duly froze after the “pre-installation summary” step.

My PATH variables are correct.

I have a current MyEclipse subscription.

Thanks for the attention.

Johannes,

Where did you obtain your Eclipse distribution? If it was from JPackage, there is currently a known problem that we are trying to work out with them that is caused because they do not package Eclipse exactly as the binary distributions are packaged from Eclipse.org. If you download the Linux distribution directly from Eclipse.org, you shouldn’t have any problems with MyEclipse installation.

Scott,

I did as you said. Now .eclipserproduct is there from the beginning. Sorry, but your installer is still stalling (to give you the benefit of the doubt I have waited about half an hour for it to start). Again, right after the “Pre-Installation Summary” step.

Eclipse per se starts like a charm.

Have you * really * tested the installer under RH 9 ? Can somebody there do such a test on the actual distribution ?

Johannes.\

[Scott Anderson]

Johhannes,

We not only test on RH9, we have a few thousand users on Linux overall. Of course, nothing is 100% reliable on every possible platform configuration so we need to find out what’s “stalling” the installer on your machine.

Do you have plenty of available disk space and RAM? You can enable debugging output from the installer by setting the environment variable LAX_DEBUG=1 and then rerunning it. This should let us know what’s going on. Here are a couple of other “installation problem” threads that may be useful (the first is very similar):
https://www.genuitec.com/forums/topic/help-needed-cannot-install-trial-version-closed/&highlight=laxdebug
https://www.genuitec.com/forums/topic/can-t-install-closed/&highlight=laxdebug

Please let us know how if your problem turns out to be the same.

Hi Scott,

I did as you suggested (LAX_DEBUG=1). Here is the output :

Take care,

Johannes,

This appears to be an Install Anywhere error. The output instructs us to contact ZeroG so they can look into it. In case you’d like to follow it directly, I’ve posted a topic on their support forums here:
http://community.zerog.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard.cgi?s=3f7b126a75ffffff;act=ST;f=14;t=2613;r=1

However, I’ll continue to work with them to resolve the issue and post the outcome back here. We apologize for the inconvenience but thank you for bringing this to our attention so we can address it.

Johannes,

I heard back from ZeroG and they suggested specifying exactly which java executable should be used to run the installer like this:
$sh ./install.bin LAX_VM /usr/local/JavaSoft/JDK_142_01/j2sdk1.4.2_01/bin/java

Can you try this and see what the outcome is?

The other thing they mentioned was ensuring that your browser downloaded the installer in binary mode and it wasn’t corrupted during transfer. This seems remote to me, but if you could download a new copy of the installer and try the above at least we can say we tried both approaches.

Thanks for you help in isolating this issue.
