Installing Pentaho Kettle on RedHat Linux

I downloaded Pentaho Kettle from http://sourceforge.net/projects/pentaho/files/Data%20Integration/4.4.0-stable/

[root@isvx3 ~]# java -version java version "1.6.0_31" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_31-b04) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.6-b01, mixed mode) [root@isvx3 ~]# [root@isvx3 ~]# cat /proc/version Linux version 2.6.18-348.16.1.el5 (mockbuild@x86-012.build.bos.redhat.com) (gcc version 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-54)) #1 SMP Sat Jul 27 01:05:23 EDT 2013 [root@isvx3 ~]# [root@isvx3 ~]# uname -m x86_64

On untarring pdi-ce-4.4.0-stable.tar it created the data-integration directory

[root@isvx3 Desktop]# cd data-integration/ [root@isvx3 data-integration]# ls Carte.bat                    libswt carte.sh                     Pan.bat Data Integration 32-bit.app  pan.sh Data Integration 64-bit.app  plugins docs                         plugins_old Encr.bat                     pwd encr.sh                      README_INFOBRIGHT.txt generateClusterSchema.sh     README_LINUX.txt hs_err_pid10080.log          README_OSX.txt hs_err_pid10405.log          README_UNIX_AS400.txt hs_err_pid3841.log           run_kettle_cluster_example.bat hs_err_pid4875.log           runSamples.sh hs_err_pid7690.log           samples Import.bat                   set-pentaho-env.bat import-rules.xml             set-pentaho-env.sh import.sh                    simple-jndi Kitchen.bat                  Spoon.bat kitchen.sh                   spoon.ico launcher                     spoon.png lib                          spoon.sh libext                       ui

On running spoon.sh I got a SIGSEGV
