1. Problem
The setup.bin hangs in the ‘Forking JAVA in launching installer’ stage.
[ How to debug]
- If you add the following to setup.bin, it shows that setup process stopped at the "Forking JAVA step".
1) ./setup.bin -Dlax.debug.all=true -Dlax.debug.level=3

.... <- The setup process stops.
2. Cause
It seems to be a compatibility issue between OS env, patch levels, tar version .... etc.
3. Possible solution
When it hangs at “Forking JAVA”, you can force the installer to point to and use a functioning jvm (version 1.6 or higher) on the machine, by issuing the following command:
% ./setup.bin LAX_VM “full_path_to_java_executable”
ex) % ./setup.bin LAX_VM /usr/bin/java
