New Linux Installation Question

[artisticforge .]

hello
If you are running /usr/local/bin/get_iplayer as anyone other than
root and /usr/local/bin/get_iplayer is attempting to update itself the
error you are receiving to correct. No one except root has "write"
premissions on /usr/local/bin/get_iplayer

You need to provide the exact command line that you are using that
cause the error.

it does appear that /usr/local/bin/get_iplayer is attempting to update
itself and failing miserably
