You can do any of the "chmod 7... jre-..bin " suggested by the
respondents or what I suggested earlier, "chmod +x jre-...bin", to
make the file executable.  In all cases you then need to do precede
the file name with a dot-slash in order to execute it from its current
directory; e.g.

# ./jre-1_5_04-linux-i586-rpm.bin
