The file "installer" is just a bash script (IIRC) which sets some shell variables and then invokes the frozen Python install executable. I don't think it even needs the env variables set to run correctly; they are just a precaution.
As a work around, you can read the commands in the installer script and execute the same commands manually. The real executable is called "installer.exe". Another possibility: Read the README.Debian file on the CD. Perhaps you need to set some permissions to run a script off of a CD. Good luck, and let us know of any other problems. Meanwhile, I will try to figure out what is what is up wiht Gentoo. If you discover what the problem is, let us know! It helps me make the installer more robust for everybody!
