./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.

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.

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

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).

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