I am new to Ubuntu and trying to set everything up. I am VERY bad at doing that at the moment. In fact, I asked another question here only a few hours ago. Anyways, I am trying to get the Firestorm Viewer for Second Life. I followed instruction given here: http://michaelferrie.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html and came up with these end results:

cordenne@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
[sudo] password for cordenne: 
Reading package lists... Done

Reading state information... Done
ia32-libs is already the newest version.
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
  libnspr4-0d:i386 libgconf2-4:i386 libnss3-1d:i386
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.

cordenne@ubuntu:~$ '/home/cordenne/install.sh' 
You are not running as a privileged user, so you will only be able
to install the Firestorm Viewer in your home directory. If you
would like to install the Firestorm Viewer system-wide, please run
this script as the root user, or with the 'sudo' command.
Proceed with the installation? [Y/N]: Y
- Installing to /home/cordenne/firestorm
cp: cannot copy a directory, `/home/cordenne/firestorm', into itself, `/home/cordenne/firestorm/firestorm'
Failed
cordenne@ubuntu:~$ 
cordenne@ubuntu:~$ 

So, still no Firestorm. Can anyone help.

PS: When it said - Installing to /home/cordenne/firestorm I felt it was talking to long to... I guess do anything so I pressed 'Enter'. I don't know if that made a difference but if it does, now you know!
