Problem with Java installer

Hello all!

I tried to install OCC doing ./install.csh but everything I receive is a lot of dots followed by nothing:

silas@darkstar:/silas/dev/freecad/thirdpartylibs/opencascade$ ./install.csh
InstallShield Wizard

The same thing occurs when I run Linux/setupLinux.bin

Any idea? thx! Bye!

I have exactly the same problem with OCC installation in Linux. Thank you for any help in this matter.

Hello again!

Locate file 'setup.jar' in OpenCASCADE_Linux.tgz and try 'java -jar setup.jar'. This seems to work.

I found this advise from an earlier thread on installation problems.

... and use the original java-vm from sun. It was the only way to get the installer work on kubuntu.
