Looks like your "me" account doesn't have permissions to write to the  
/LocalApps directory.  There are several approaches to work around this  
problem.

You can run the installer.sh command specifying an alternative  
installation directory:

	installer.sh OmniWeb.pkg ~/Apps

You can log in as "root" and install into /LocalApps:

	installer.sh OmniWeb.pkg

You can log in as "root", change the permissions on /LocalApps so that  
"me" can write to it (a simple way to do this is to make /LocalApps be  
owned by me), and then log back in as "me" and run installer.sh.  To  
change the ownership of /LocalApps (as root), you'd say:

	chown me /LocalApps

Hope this helps!
