Linux install script problem

[feriso]

Trying to install a prog on linux from a cd using the supplied script but is not letting me, keeps coming up with

"sudo: unable to execute ./INST_RLS: Permission denied"

thought beforehand I thought it was becasue I was not running as root and I was getting this

"bash: ./INST_RLS: /bin/sh: bad interpreter: Permission denied"

I'm no linux guru so I'm stumped....

(its a old prog from about 1999 but that shouldn't make a difference shoudl it?)

Ah good point - have no idea and I'll check when I get home. However it is on a mounted CD so I don't think you can change the permissions as it'll be read only - is it worth copying the CD locally and trying to install from the local drive?

edit: I'musing ubuntu 6.[3?] (I think) and checking the read only files it says that the linux version was compiled for Redhat (5.3 ?) - shouldn't make a differance should it.
