Thanks for the tip. I found out there was a character in my $PATH that the installer didn't like. I ended up redefining $PATH in setup.sh instead of appending to it in order to get rid of some unrelated Windows' paths. I had put in something already to handle the spaces by substituting and escape character, but the installer/make/w/e did not like "(". There are quite a few on my 64 bit machine since Windows creates a Program Files (x86) folder.
