Wow - I think that's a lot more debugging effort than was necessary! The easy work around is to grab the latest 'deploy' tar file from sourceforge and manually unzip it, and then use the shell script to start it. It's not quite as slick as using the 'InstallAnywhere' installer (a usually excellent third party tool who donated a licence to us) but it is a bit more reliable on linux :-).
