Linux Install Hangs

I'm trying to install LimeWire v1.4 for Linux and I'm trying to install it on a Red Hat 7.1 System. I have tried it in telnet and in xterm but both hang right after it prints out "Preparing to instal...".

Top reports a process named jre that is taking up 99% of the cpu time.. Obviously there's an endless loop in there somewhere.

Can you run it with strace and let us know what system calls it is doing when it is not finishing?

-greg

When I did an strace it actually died instead of going into an endless loop. If someone wants the whole strace I can attach it to an email.

> strace -f sh LimeWireLinux.bin
