My previous install was on redhat, but on a network share so I could just access that under gentoo.  The trick is I had to have compatibility libs installed (just like fedora/mandrake).  on gentoo, do this (probably as root, or as a user in the portage group:
emerge lib-compat

Next, the installer would start /mnt/cdrom/install_linux.sh, but would  claim that it succeded, but would fail, since after the product selection, it would not ask me for what type (full/minimal/custom) for Jbuilder.  In the readme on the cd, it mentions then running Disk1/InstData/Linux/VM/install.bin.  This failed with

Googling this indicates the problem is in the install.bin file.  I then copied the disk1 to harddrive, and proceeded to edit the  install.bin file  Commenting the following (it occurs twice):
export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL

This still failed due to it failing the checksum  If you added ONE # and no spaces to each line, for a total of 2 new chars, delete the last char on the line you comment, ie:
#export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.
and
#export LD_ASSUME_KERNE

This lets the checksum pass, and ta-da!  It installs.  When prompted for the 2nd disk, put it in the cdrom and your fine (you may have to mount it if you don't have supermount/all the other stuff) running.)  If you're confident in your copy, you could probably comment out the checksum chuck of code too.

Apparently this is a bug that other distros (I've seen suse mentioned, and mandrake, debian) have had with the installer with some other apps.  I think it is a fix in the installer to workaround a bug that is now fixed or have read stuff that indicates that at least.

So far, JBuilder seems to run, but I haven't done anything much yet on it.  On the gentoo forums there are quite a few successes with jbuilder.
