DivX support for Mepis

I have been trying unsuccessfully to install the latest DivX version from
http://labs.divx.com/DivXLinuxCodec onto my 6.5rc3 system.
It appears the script installer does not finish, but no error codes are generated. I had the same faults when I tried to install it on Mepis 6.01. The script displays the license agreement then goes no further when it is supposed to ask if I agree to the license or not. I can not get any further than this and have to close the konsole window.

I was wondering if somebody could look at the script and see if there is an area that is incompatible with Mepis. I have copied the contents of the script minus the very long license agreement and replaced it with ---- clipped ---- and the last line showing the date

Am I wasting my time, is this already available in Mepis?

All help appreciated
