can't install star office 5.2

[Moses Backman III]

i downloaded the staroffice_5.2-xxx.bin file and i when i try to install 
it using the ./so-5.2-en...... command i get a permission denied 
warning.  this happens if i su or log in as root as well as if i log in 
as the profile that downloaded the file.  i've seen messages that it 
works can anyone tell me what i'm missing ( i am using debian 2.2 w/AMD 
k6/2 500 and a ton of RAM)
