Fedora and Open Cascade

I've noticed a lot of people having trouble installing OpenCascade on modern systems.

I'm attempting to install Open Cascade 6.2 on a Fedora 2/3 system with the latest Java. No Dice. I get:

"The wizard cannot continue because of the following error: could not load wizard specified in /wizard.inf (104)"

I notice a lot of people get this. Any advice? I'd really like to try this package out!

This is an error with your version of java, I tried:

[root@Fireball Linux]# /usr/java/jdk1.5.0_05/bin/java -jar setup.jar

(forcing to use java 1.5.0) and works. This errors means that you can not bring up the wizard screen.

I try as same way. And next is my log.I get wizard of opencascade.

I finally got the installer to work on Fedora core 7.
I first installed the compat-libstdc++-296
I then linked the following :
/usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2 -> /usr/lib/libstdc++-3-libc6.2-2-2.10.0.so

This changed the error. the java installer didn't complain anymore but didn't do anything at all !!

So here I decided to change installs of java.

I installed sun java as explained on this page :
http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mjm-fedora-f7.html

Oh and once all this is done instead of running the install.csh script, I run "java -jar install.jar" in the Linux dir.

Let me know if you have any problem !!

I solved it using the Sun JRE 1.6

I've experienced the same problem... but the second or third time I tried it worked. Quite strange. Also, it didn't accept the destination directory I gave it.. and then it magically worked (it's called an "Installation wizard" after all :-) ).
To be sincere, it installed, but OCC is not really working. I can't understand what is lacking. How can I check if the graphic library have been correctly installed?
