Installing java error FIXED

[Harry G]

Duh, I forgot to do chmod a+x on the file.  

Silly me.

I am trying to install java 1.4.  I saved the file in:

linux:/usr/local/java # ls
.  ..  j2re-1_4_0_01-linux-i586.bin

Then I try to run it by doing:
linux:/usr/local/java # ./j2re-1_4_0_01-linux-i586.bin

It returns:
bash: ./j2re-1_4_0_01-linux-i586.bin: bad interpreter: Permission denied

I am running it in a terminal with root permissions.  What am I doing wrong?
