If the installer hangs around for a while, you might be able to confirm
what environment it is using from the /proc file system, ex:
markver@ltichub:~> ps -ef | grep screen
markver 12195 12163 0 18:23 pts/0 00:00:00 screen
markver 12263 12197 0 18:28 pts/1 00:00:00 grep screen
markver@ltichub:~>
markver@ltichub:~> cat /proc/12195/environ | strings | egrep -i "java|path"

If the installer is an executable and not a shell script, you can also
quickly confirm what kind of executable it is (64bit or 32bit) and what
kind or libraries it depends on, ex:
markver@ltichub:~> file /usr/bin/screen
/usr/bin/screen: ELF 64-bit MSB executable, IBM S/390, version 1 (SYSV),
for GNU/Linux 2.6.4, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux
2.6.4, stripped
markver@ltichub:~>
markver@ltichub:~> ldd /usr/bin/screen
libncurses.so.5 => /lib64/libncurses.so.5 (0x000002000002e000)
libutempter.so.0 => /usr/lib64/libutempter.so.0 (0x000002000009d000)
libcrypt.so.1 => /lib64/libcrypt.so.1 (0x000002000009f000)
libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x00000200000da000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib64/libdl.so.2 (0x000002000023d000)
/lib/ld64.so.1 (0x0000020000000000)

Aside from that, going through the strace might be your best bet to find
what it looked for and didn't find.
