Older versions of Ansys had this problem when installing on Fedora as
well.

Installer: "You must have Redhat 9"
Me: "Okay, this is RedHat 9.  Really!  Shh, don't tell Yum."

Fortunately, most of the other applications that we use (Matlab, ABAQUS,
Ansys 8, etc) don't check (or don't object to) /etc/redhat-release.
