Won't run file.

When I try to install a game (a .run file), I get this:

Code:
/home/user> sh /home/user/et-linux-2.55.x86.run
Verifying archive integrity... All good.
Uncompressing Enemy Territory 2.55.............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................Extraction failed.
Signal caught, cleaning up
/home/user>

did you check to see if the file was corrupt before you ran it? on linux a file is given an md5 code(which allows you to check it once its downloaded compared to what it is on the website to see if the file is valid) i'd check this if i were you. google or post here if you need help to do this
