[Gvsig_english] install on Ubuntu 8.04 fails

[Henning Lorenz]

That gave the same result. But I discovered the (strange) reason: I'm on
an eeepc with the operating system on a 4gb main solid state drive (boot
partition) and my home folder in another partition on the 16 gb drive
linked with a symbolic link to it's original location on the boot
partition. This is the first time that this setup makes trouble.
However, after copying the bin installer file to the boot partition, I'm
now able to install.
