I can't install matlab in SUSE

I've already tried by all means. I stuck into the step when I have to select the path where to install.
- If I choose the folder it appears by default an error message pops up; "Unable to create the destination folder / usr/ local/ MATLAB/ R2010b/ . Please choose another destination folder."
- If I type an unexisting folder so that system creates it, an error message pops up with the message: "Failed to create folder (/ whichever/ path/ selected/ )."
As I was suggested to install as a administrator, I typed "sudo ./install" and in konsole appears the next message "user@linux-e0x2:~/Descargas/Matlab> sudo ./install [sudo] password for root: Preparing installation files ... Installing ...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Error: Installation cannot proceed. You may either:
1. Set an X11 display, and restart the install process
2. Use the silent install feature by specifying the -mode silent option
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
"
What else Can I do?!

Hi Isabel,
Please input the full path of the installer properties file so that the file gets read properly. The command should look something like:
./install -inputFile /full/path/to/installer_input.txt
If you do not input the absolute path, MATLAB will not read the installer properties file. Instead, MATLAB will start the interactive installation process instead

Thanks. I solved it. I moved the folder into a path with permissions and I could install by graphic installer.
