LINUX IDL Install Help [message #49432]

Folks,

I'm in Africa, far away from books and other support. You are all I've
got! :-(

I'm trying to install IDL 6.1 on a LINUX machine. The instructions call
for this
command:

/bin/sh /CDROM_PATH/xinstall.sh

We have logged on as root. We have correctly identified our CDROM_PATH
as /media/cdrom. But when we execute the command, we find we don't have
permission to do the install. (Sorry I can't be more specific. The
responses
are in French and ... well, let's just say this is not my first
language.)

Any ideas? (I prefer simple words that I can get across to my companion
by
waving my hands, if possible.)

Thanks ever so much. I don't know what I would do without you folks!
:-)

Cheers,

David
