No, it is not meant to be clicked but it is meant to be run from the 
shell. The problem is that the environment variable is not set when you 
click the file. I suggest you put the line

export FDRHOME=/home/user1/fdr-2.83-linux-academic

in the second line of the script. Then the beginning of the script would 
look like this:

#!/bin/sh
export FDRHOME=/home/user1/fdr-2.83-linux-academic

I think you should change the other scripts in the same way, because they 
all expect the environment variable FDRHOME to be set.
