I'm trying to install TexLive2008 on a RedHat Linux Enterprise 5.2 64bit, but I'm getting the following error:

[root at nxsrv02 TeXLive2008]# perl ./install-tl
TeXLive::TLUtils::setup_programs failed at tlpkg/TeXLive/TLUtils.pm line 1042.
./tlpkg/installer/lzma/lzmadec.x86_64-linux --help failed (status 32256): No such file or directory
Output is:
Can't exec "./tlpkg/installer/lzma/lzmadec.x86_64-linux": Permission denied at tlpkg/TeXLive/TLUtils.pm line 1045.
Couldn't set up the necessary programs.
Cannot continue with installation.
Please report to texlive at tug.org.
[root at nxsrv02 TeXLive2008]# perl ./install-tl gui

The source it's a DVD burned from iso file (texlive2008-20080822.iso). I've tried several options (with/without leading dash) but with no clue.

The same error happens on a CentOS 5.2.
