Installing NeXpose on Debian

Required libraries:

screen
xvfb
libstdc++5
xfonts-75dpi
xfonts-base
xserver-xorg
libxtst6
libxp6


I used strace and tricked the installer..
The installer looks for various distros version files.
Debian uses /etc/debian_version, Ubuntu uses /etc/lsb-release.

1. Download NeXpose, I'll be using the 64bit version.
2. chmod +x NeXposeSetup-Linux64.bin
3. Create the file /etc/lsb-release containing:
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=10.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=lucid
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 10.04 LTS"

4. Run the installer ./NeXposeStep-Linux64.bin
