When you attempt to start Pion you might come across a "permission denied" error.
In my test environment I was installing Pion on Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit onto a second disk drive mounted as /media/Data.
By default the mount point was loaded with the noexec option, and hence despite the correct file permissions Pion would not start.
You will need to edit your /etc/fstab file and add the required exec keyword, and then do a "mount -a" to check everything is correct, then reboot.
for example
/dev/sdb1 /media/Data ext4 rw,user,exec,uhelper=udisks,errors=remount-ro, 0 0
