Did this get cleared up in any way?  One interesting thing to do would
be to attach with "strace -p" to the process hanging in the install
process.  If you see calls related to the futex mechanisms, it is very
likely that there is a kernel/glibc problem involved.  I once saw such a
behaviour on a single Fedora version which went away either downgrading
or upgrading the kernel.

Cheers

Can't we do better? C++? (Sorry, never mind.)
