Superuser without privileges installing Sun One Studio in Debian Linux

Question

i am trying to install Sun One Studio in my Debian Linux and when i launch the setup application it tells me that i must log in as superuser to install. Well, the thing is that i launch the installer as root, but the program doesn't seem to think the same :)
Surprisingly, the log file doesn'l show any related error; it only shows a warning about some widgets... so this seems to be a simple bug in the installer.
Here's the log:
