The error you're getting is not about the script itsself but the interpreter used for it.. Look at the first line of configit.sh - it should start with #!/bin/sh what's the output of "ls -la /bin/sh" ?I'm trying to run a small shell script to supply options to the configure script in postgresql 8.0, which was released a few days ago. When I try to do this in Fedora Core 3, I get thiis mesage:
bash: ./configit.sh: /bin/sh: bad interpreter: Permission denied
I'm doing this from a second hard drive that I've mounted. The second drive has an older release of Fedora Core on it:
[rlc@bobcp4 postgresql-8.0.0]$ pwd /mnt/any/home/rlc/postgresql-8.0.0
Here is the directory listing for the script I want to execute:
-rwxrwxr-x 1 rlc rlc 155 Jan 29 22:22 configit.sh
What am I doing wrong -- why am I getting the "Permission denied" messages?
Thanks

Also do you have selinux enabled?
Peter.
Hi Peter,
Yes it does start with #! /bin/sh. The output you requested:
[rlc@bobcp4 ~]$ ls -la /bin/sh lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Nov 11 09:35 /bin/sh -> bash
selinux is disabled on this system.
However, I just moved the postgresql-8.0.0 directory from /mnt/any/home/rlc to ~/ . What we are seeing is a bit confusing because the source directory is on a separate drive that has an older Fedora Core system and also had a user account on /home/rlc. Anyhow after moving the build directory, the script started working! Configure ran and gmake ran. I seem to be running into permissions problems of some sort.
Thanks for your help!
Bob
