Daft question, maybe: but what sort of box are you attempting to install this on.

I thought the Linux/390 version was purely for that mother of an IBM box that has a billion virtual Linux servers running within it.

If it's just a plain old Intel box running some standard el-cheapo Linux distro, then you downloaded the wrong version. There's a plain old Linux download for such critters.
