'/tmp' is mount

I recieve an error related to tmp directory while i try to install something. How can i mount it without a problem?
./xxxxx.Linux.i386.rpm.bin: /tmp/xxxxx_test.sh: /bin/sh: bad
interpreter: Permission denied
./xxxxx.Linux.i386.rpm.bin: The directory '/tmp' is mounted with no execution permissions.
File: /etc/fstab
Code:
/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 / ext3 defaults,usrquota 1 1
LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs noexec,nosuid 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 swap swap defaults 0 0

/tmp /var/tmp ext3 defaults,bind,noauto 0 0
/var/tmpMnt /tmp ext3 loop,rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev 0 0

It looks like your RPM/bin needs to execute a script off of /tmp. /tmp is set to mount without the execute bit on. Simply replace the fstab entry:
Quote:


/var/tmpMnt /tmp ext3 loop,rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev 0 0


with:
Quote:


/var/tmpMnt /tmp ext3 loop,rw,nosuid,nodev 0 0


And then issue the command:
Quote:


mount -o remount -a


At this point, you can execute the RPM/bin command. Once done, put the line back as it was and issue the same mount command.
Good luck
