If you take a look at the file you are trying to execute, there are some helpful comments:

Usage (from gitolite clone directory):

    ./install
    to run gitolite using an absolute or relative path, for example
    'src/gitolite' or '/full/path/to/this/dir/src/gitolite'

    ./install -ln [<dir>]
    to symlink just the gitolite executable to some <dir> that is in
    $PATH. <dir> defaults to $HOME/bin if <dir> not specified. <dir> is
    assumed to exist; gitolite will not create it.

    Please provide a full path, not a relative path.

    ./install -to <dir>
    to copy the entire 'src' directory to <dir>. If <dir> is not in
    $PATH, use the full path to run gitolite commands.

    Please provide a full path, not a relative path.

Simplest use, if $HOME/bin exists and is in $PATH, is:

    git clone git://github.com/sitaramc/gitolite
    gitolite/install -ln

    # now run setup
    gitolite setup -pk /path/to/YourName.pub
