[ADSM-L] Deployment Engine woes

Hi all,

I'm trying to install TSM 6.1.0.0 on a test system. This is a
minimally installed OpenSUSE 10.3 in a virtual machine. During
installation of the DE, the installer fails. As usual with Java based
software, there is no usefull human readable clue as to what I should
change to get things working.

Running with LAX_DEBUG=1 set, the last lines are:

Deployment Engine failed to initialize.
The installer will now shutdown. Please check with the log files for a
more
complete description of the failure.


The log.txt is not much more useful (to put it mildly).

Anyone got a hint as to what is wrong. Based on the published
instalaltion documents, my system is fully compiant with all
requirements.
