I got past the install stage after I downloaded the glibc update from 
redhat. There is a later problem when you attempt to start a windows session 
which I understand from the previous correspondence is a libncurses problem 
and may be fixed by a symbolic link between libncurses.so.4 and 
libncurses.so.5. I haven't tried this yet and decided to await official 
support for redhat7 which is frustratingly slow in coming
