I just downloaded the binary and tried to install it
as root. I tried this, and it seemed to work
around the problem. Untarring as a normal
user also seems to "fix" the problem.

cd $INSTALL
chown -R root.root i686-pc-linux-gnulibc2.1
find . -type d -exec chmod 775 {} \;
find . -type f -exec chmod o+r {} \;

Yes, that is a known problem. The "fix" is to explicitly
set the TCL_LIBRARY env var before running hyper.

setenv TCL_LIBRARY $INSTALL/share/etc

If you take a look at the bin/snavigator script you
will find that it does just that. Also, if you
build from the source, the problem does not show
up, it only happens when you move the tree
and try to run it in the new location. We
need to fix this, it is just at the bottom
of the list since most folks don't use hyper
directly.

I saw your note, but I did not have anything to add to the discussion.
If the .lv tables are not generated, it most likely means the
parser does not have them implemented. Working on the parser
is the only way to fix such a problem.
