Hmmm. OK:
1) Are you running the installer from your home dir, and is that
mounted over NFS?

2) If you have SF set up in setup as an addon to UT, are you trying to
run the installer as the same user as the one that instaleld UT?

This is all assuming you're using loki_setup [pull the cvs from
cvs.icculus.org]. If you're not, you should be. And if you are, just
look in the "makeself" directory in the loki_setup directory.
