As it turns out, the error message was related to the gui version of the
installer. Running it with the console flag resolved the problem:
./install.bin -i consoleLater on I went back and installed X11 fonts and
the gui was able to run:yum -y install xorg-x11-fonts-base
xorg-x11-fonts-misc xorg-x11-font-utils xorg-x11-fonts-Type1Thanks!
