Weird problem.
I downloaded an svn version of mythtv, cd'd to the folder, and tried
to run './configure --help', Got a 'Permission Denied' error.
I am root and the permissions were and are 0775...chmod changes
nothing, even trying 0777.
Does anyone have any idea what is going on? The directory is on a 'rw'
partition, since I just downloaded to it, using a script. But the
configure script itself will not run. I changed the first line from:
#!/bin/sh to #!/bin/bash > no change.
And bash *is* in /bin and executable, owned by root.
I'm stumped....
What is the partition? Is it a remote drive mounted locally? Is it a
USB drive - they are typically mounted noexec? What does /bin/mount
tell you?
Could it be an SELinux denial? What does /var/log/audit/audit.log tell
you?
Anything in /var/log/messages?
i've had a similar problem when trying to delete a file, then it was to
do with extended attributes.
can't remember how i got around it, but looked the details up in man for
attrib from memory!
