Thanks -- its working! The Clemson web page you referenced was very helpful. The trick is to edit the installer script with binary mode vim (using the -b flag: vim -b Maple1003LinuxUpgrade.bin Then scroll down to the first instance of "export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL" (line 2251) and replace the 'e' in 'export' with '#'. This comments out the line and evidently leaves the installer size intact so those compression errors are bypassed. The console mode suggestion didn't help at all, though.

Thanks for the tip -- I disabled SELinux by editing /etc/selinux/config and setting SELINUX=DISABLED and then rebooting. SELinux isn't running now, but I get the same errors when trying to install 10.03. For the record, here are the shared library errors: Preparing to install... Extracting the JRE from the installer archive... Unpacking the JRE... Extracting the installation resources from the installer archive...
