HDFView install fails: hdfview_install_linux_novm.bin

Hi
Unfortunately I have been unable to install HDFView on my laptop.
I'd like to avoid having another java VM on my machine so would like
to install or build a no-vm version of HDFView, so I'm about to try
build from the sources....

Hopefully some of this detail helps:

# lsb_release -a

The hdfview_InstallLog.log indicates success and is here:

http://pastie.org/361232

However the shell output indicates otherwise (I also see a Java dialog
with the same stack trace as below):

# sh ./hdfview_install_linux_novm.bin
