Im pretty new to linux as well. but if you can open the file in graphic mode you can right click on it and change the permissions. I had the same problem once. also make install... maybe u need to run that command.
I dont know how to change permisions in the shell.
Yoper linux ROCKS!!

If you are configuring from source, then the steps are often;
./configure
make
then you need to go to root user by typing in su. then entering your password. At that point, you can do;
make install
However, it would help if you tell us what package that you are attempting to install, as directions do vary.
