installing mathematica from .iso

My College was nice enough to round me a up a linux version of mathematica (i.e. one of the math profs uses Ubuntu and it was covered under their distribution agreement) I have an .iso extracted from a zip file but when I try to run the installer nothing happens, I assume I'm missing some dependency. Anyone else have any luck with it?

If not I can always run the window's version under wine or the mac version on my macbook pro so no worries, it'd just be nice to have it on my more powerful machine.

Confusion is always the most honest response, and I'm a very honest person

Re: installing mathematica from .iso

Where are you running the installer from? I would try to run it from the command-line as it should give you some output. Also, if you are running the installer off the ISO, make sure it's not mounted with the noexec option as this will not allow you to run anything directly off it.
