A few days ago, I posted on VW and Fedora Core - I've gotten a few additional comments in the interim. There seem to be a number of variances, probably depending on your kernel level and installation procedure:

• If they have /proc/sys/kernel/exec-shield then they need to either 'echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/exec-shield' or try using the utility they provide [named something like 'execstack'] to run vw without the shield.
• Some Athlong users need to execute this: setarch athlon -L ${VISUALWORKS}/bin/linux86/vwlinux86 visual.im
• and finally, I've had this reported as being required to run the installer:

> cd /media/cdrecorder
> setarch i386 -L ./autorun

Let me know if any other magic incantations seem to be required. We think we have this one addressed in the next VM build.
