i finally got the damned thing installed! after adding some lines in my .bash_profile file

PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin<:/usr/java/jre1.3.1/bin/java>

i added the part between the angle brackets, using a colon to separate the new path i added - you shouldn't use the brackets when you add the path to java. i added the /usr/java/jre1.3.1/bin/java path because that is the exact path on my box - yours may be different. after you do that type

/yourpath/to/java RunLime

and the installer should fire up, at least it did for me. hope this helps someone
