./configure: Permission denied on removable media
 
I have googled all about this issue, i have tried many things. I searched the forums and found many issues without a resolution. I cant seem to find a resolution.
I am trying to ./configure with an output of "Permission Denied"

D:is the loction of the program i want to ./configure
If i ls -l D: (D: my removable media) i get lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 2009-08-26 18:55 D: -> /media/D:/
dont know if this is relevant but could help...maybe

Also when i su and ./configure i also get the same output of "Permission Denied"

I dont know what to do im at loss for options. Any help is appriciated.

/dev/sda1 on /.ro type ext2 (ro)
/dev/sda2 on /.rw type ext3 (rw,noatime,data=ordered)

The noexec option of mount do not allow execution on the filesystem. Try to umount /dev/sdb1 and mount again using simply:
Code:

mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /media/D
then run ./configure again.

output: mount: mount point media/D does not exist

Code:

mkdir /media/D && mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /media/D

You forgot a leading slash: is /media/D, not media/D.

mount: /dev/sdb1 already mounted or /media/D: busy
mount: according to mtab, /dev/sdb1 is already mounted on /media/D:

sorry for my tripple post.

colucix 08-27-2009 04:16 AM

Well, let's start from the beginning: you have first to umount /dev/sdb1:
Code:

umount /dev/sdb1
because the system automatically mounted it with noexec. Now, re-mount it under /media/D using
Code:

mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /media/D
As further step check the output of the mount command again (without options) to see if the disk has been mounted correctly (without noexec).

use following
#mount -o remount,exec /dev/sdb1

thnks

Be sure you're in the directory where configure is placed:
Code:

pwd
ls
