Hi, Tim.

How is your CD mounted?  Can you type

  $ mount

and post the line for your CD?

If it is mounted with the 'noexec' option, that is likely the
problem.  You would either need to copy the contents of the CD
somewhere that does allow executing binaries (e.g. /tmp), or you
would need to change the mount options for the CD.  With the
right permissions (either as root or, on Ubuntu, using sudo),
you could change the mount options to allow executing binaries
with something like this (replacing MOUNT_POINT with the file
system location where your CD is mounted):

  $ sudo mount -o remount,exec MOUNT_POINT
