Newbie needs some help for installation

I have SUSE 9.2 in german

I have tried (!) to install ASA 9.0 for linux.

I have no problem to start a *.RPM file for other program-installations.
This installation is done automatically.

The extraction of the GZ-File was no problem.
But nothing happens, when I make a doubleclick on SETUP
I am logged on as root.
No message on the screen !!

Thanks for any help.

Sorry for such simple question,
but i have just started to use LINUX

You will have to run the "setup" from a shell (or "command line").

There is full description of the installation process in the file
"install.txt".

Hope this helps,

The setup program is a terminal application. You will need to open Terminal
and proceed to run 'setup'.

Normally to do an install on Linux you would open an xterm (or shell)
window and just run "./setup". For some reason it appears that either
your install is corrupted or your configuration.

Try running
bash -x shell
or sh -x shell
and see what happens - it should spit out lots of lines that show
exactly what is running. This will tell us how far the script is
getting before it is getting the error. Post the output and we will
take a look.
