Can someone kindly advise me what the issue is with Ubuntu 14 LTS installation? I'm a Ubuntu newbie but have followed the instructions and running
sudo bash ./install-sx.sh file from / (root) always gives this install error:

sim@ubuntu:/$ sx
The program 'sx' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install lrzsz
Everything is fine up until this point.
Any help would be greatly appreciated; have literally spent 2 days trying to work this out with LTS 12 now LTS 14 (ie I'm not here as first resort, I've RTFM!)
TL;DR:
Ubuntu 14 LTS, how to fix this error?

I had the same issue and fixed it.
