installing Crystal report server XI on different Linux distros?

[jambu]

I have a pc with ubuntu sitting on it and downloaded an evaluation copy of CRSXI for Linux to install on it, so far I haven't found any docs restricting it to a specific distro.

I cant install it as I get the following errors.

/home/jambu/CR/DISK_1/setup/patches/patchlevel.sh: 339: Syntax error: Bad substitution

If you continue your installation may not work correctly.
Please press Enter to continue...

Patch checking complete
Can't find a valid termcap file at toscamenu.pm line 113
Compilation failed in require at ./setupui line 20.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./setupui line 20.
=======================================================
Looking up line (I am assuming 339 is the line number, not too familiar with scripts on linux) 339 I find this reference to red hat

if [ "$osname" = "Linux" -a -f "/etc/redhat-release" ]; then
updatelevel="`cat /etc/redhat-release | sed 's/.*Update \(.*\))/\1/'`"
reqlevel="`echo "$1" | sed 's/Update-\(.*\)/\1/'`"
#line 339 below testupdate=${updatelevel//[^0-9]/}
testreq=${reqlevel//[^0-9]/}
if [ "$testupdate" = "$updatelevel" -a "$testreq" = "$reqlevel" ]; then
if [ $updatelevel -ge $reqlevel ]; then
rc="0"
alreadydone=yes
fi
fi
fi

=======================================
So my question to you CRSXI linux experts is can it be installed on other distros and if so any tips on fixing this would be helpful.

Thanks in advance.

Check

for supported platorms.
Says redhat only. Whether that's due to installer limitations, I don't know.
