How do you install a binary file on Linux using the command line.

Binary File Name : g2p2-linux-2_0_30.bin (Real Server G2)

I have tried:

make
make install
install
unbin
exec

The file is supposed to be a self extracting executable, but my isn't seeing
it as one.  Is there something I am missing?  I also tried gunzipping it
manually, but nope.  I am attempting to execute (install) this file as ROOT
and have set the correct file permissions (chmod +x).

The platform I am using is Linux 2.02.30 running on a RAQ
(www.cobaltnet.com)

Any help that anyone can share can is most appreciated.
