I've got a pretty standard RedHat 5.2 system, and when I try to run anything off the cdrom, including the installer, I get a message like
------------------
[collins@birch Linux]$ ./MathInstaller -info
bash: ./MathInstaller: Permission denied
------------------
I tried running the installer script with sh -v and got this
------------------
[collins@birch Linux]$ sh -v MathInstaller -info
#!/bin/sh
#
# MathInstaller for Mathematica Version 3.0

if [ -d ../../Files ]; then
reloc=../../Files/SystemFiles/Installation
else
reloc=../..
fi
FROMDIR=`pwd`
pwd
export FROMDIR
INSTALLARCH=Linux
export INSTALLARCH
if [ .$TMPDIR = .'''' ]; then
TMPDIR=/usr/tmp
export TMPDIR
fi
INSTALLLANG=English
export INSTALLLANG
if [ ! -d $reloc ]; then
echo
echo ''Cannot determine system type. Run the copy of MathInstaller''
echo ''in the directory Installation/<$SystemID>.''
echo '' ''
exit
fi
cd $reloc
SystemResources/Utilities/MathInstaller $*
MathInstaller: SystemResources/Utilities/MathInstaller: Permission denied
--------------------
I'm stuck. Thanks for any help. I see from reading other messages that others have successfully installed Mathematica, but I can't see what's wrong. I've tried doing this both as root and as a non-privileged user.
