Who can tell me why I am unable to execute bin file under RHEL AS 4?

Recently I've installed the RHEL AS 4 onto my machine.It occurs to me something strange and it goes like this:I want to install StarSuite to my system and I input ./***.bin in the console window.But it tolds me that I haven't the authority to execute the program.
I check the properties of the bin file and found that the execute item has not been chosen.When I choose it and it returned to unchosen status automatically.
I tried to use chmod commander but still failed.Who can tell me why it happen and what can I do?

Thanks

I think this means you need to be superuser to run that program. Open an Xterminal and type su and press enter. Then enter your password. You are now the superuser - attempt to run the binary that says you do are not authorized / unprivileged. It should work now.

Make sure you're root or the user of the file that you're trying to execute. Put a blanket chmod 755 on the file, then try to execute again.

I did be a root and I use the chmod 755 commander but it still doesn't work.What can I do then?

Do these things and copy/paste the results ( make sure you're in the directory where the .bin file is you're trying to exectute ):

id
ls -l *.bin

also output of mount cmd. i think if the partition contain yr ***.bin is mounted as noexec then u probably cannot execute program from there.....
