You should use your package manager to install software. There are many tutorials on the internet such as The Unofficial Fedora FAQ

buddy but it's .bin programs ,and my package manager is .RPM TOOL
i need a solution for .bin programs on RHEL5

If you really want to install using a bin file then you first need to make it an executable with the command:

chmod a+x filename

where filename is the name of the bin file

You can then execute it with the command

./filename

[daark.child]

chmod +x filename.bin
./filename.bin

guys ....after downloading the package
i untar the ball
then change directory to /vuse which is the untarred package
then the readme .txt tells me to run auzeurus executable by running ./auzeurus
but still facing the same problem ,the program runs but the installation didn't complet
and the cursor lag on the shell windows waiting for terminating process by pressing ctrl+c

If you are using Gnome, right click the main menu to
edit the menus. here is where you create shortcuts
to run programs.
