    install -load cannot execute error

    Hello,
    I'm trying to install ArcInfo 9.2 (GIS software) on an Ultra 40 running Solaris 10 (x86). I am also extremely new to the unix environment. When I get to the correct path and try to run the install -load command from the command line, it brings back an error:
    "cannot execute"

    I've done some research and most of the problems I've seen have been occurring when users are confused about on which platform they are installing. The instructions that came with the software led me to believe that it was compatible across all unix supported platforms. I still think, however, that something about the OS is preventing me from installing because the command seems to be pretty straight-forward. I'm logged in as root, so I'm fairly certain that I have proper permissions to complete the install.

    Any tips/advice/links/help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks for your time

      Sorry for the double-post =\

      I also might add that I'm trying to install from a cd/dvd drive. When I look at the permissions, it (of-course) says the files are read only. I still get the same "cannot execute" even when I copy the files to the hard drive and try to execute from that directory.

      Thanks in advance.

          you probably don't have permissions to execute the script/program. use ls to check the permissions. then use chmod u+x <script name/program name> to change it to executable.
