Resolution:
There is a bug in Java when calling the mount command and the "set-user-ID-on-execution" bit is set for mount. The solution would be, to write a 'custom' script named 'mount' and modify the PATH, so the installer will invoke the script instead of the mount command.

Solution A
1. create a file called 'mount' with the following content:
   #!/bin/sh
   exit 0
2. change the permissions of the file to execute rights. (chmod)
3. modify the PATH variable by pre-pending '.:', e.g. export PATH=.:$PATH
4. Execute the EMS installer.

Solution B
1. Install JDK 1.3.1_15. It can be downloaded from http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/download.html
&lthttp://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/download.html>

2. In a command (Bourne or Korn) shell

    $ JAVA_HOME=&ltJDK_1.3.1_15_HOME>
    $ export JAVA_HOME
    // example: If java is located at /jdk131_15/bin/java, then
JAVA_HOME=/jdk131_15

3. Start EMS installer and verify if it completes successfully.

If run "tib_ems-simple_4.4.0_linux24gl23_x86.bin -console", after all prompts are answered, the install hangs instead of copying the files.
