I had the same experience this evening and nearly gave up until I checked the permissions of the license.txt file in the install directory. They were only wr for root, nothing for other users. I changed the permissions to 666 and it works fine. I guess since you have to have root permission to copy to the install directory, the permissions get set to root only and have to be manually set to others.
