Try this:
copy the installer (setup.bin) off of the CD and onto a local drive. Then execute from the new location.
It looks like the installer is trying to create a log file in the directory that it executes from (and failing, since it's a CD) and is then running into problems when it tries to access this file later in the process.
Why this is happening on your system and no one else's I'll probably never know.....that's just one of the joys of Linux -- an extremely customizable OS.
Funny, I'm using 'install.bin' not 'setup.bin' -- my cd's "Linux" directory has three files: install.bin, "Copy of install.bin" and setup.bin.gz, which despite its name is not actually gzipped: the three files are identical in content.
That said, the file jx.log was probably being created because I'd set LAX_DEBUG to 'file', the option which seemed to have special meaning from perusing install.bin. (I do hope your license doesn't forbid reverse engineering, because despite your generous help it lookss like it's the only way I'm going to get this installed).
