Many Linux distributions don't allow programs to be executed from CDs by
default. Try to add the "exec" option to the corresponding line in the
file /etc/fstab, so that the line reads something like this:

/dev/cdrom /media/cdrom auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0

If you're not sure what to do, post the /etc/fstab file here.

Good luck,
Benjamin
