Don't really know why, but what about using Xarchiver to unpack the Zip and repack as tar.gz?
Xarchiver is under Menu-Utilities

unzip name-of-zip-file | tar -czf name-of-desired-tar-archive

I couldn't unzip a file and execute it through a terminal.
So I thought converting it to a .tar.gz might help.

As it turns out, instructions spelled file name in CAPS.
But file name is in lower-case.
And terminal is case-sensitive.
It's always the little stuff that bites you.
Thanks to both of you for the assistance.
