Fedora > /bin/sh: bad interpreter: Permission denied

Problem

Received the following error message when attempting to install an application, in Fedora 15, where the current working directory is /tmp/somedir.
/bin/sh: bad interpreter: Permission denied

Solution

Security on Fedora/RHEL blocks executing scripts from /tmp. The solution/workaround is to move the directory to my homedrive, and run it from there instead.
