having trouble running ./configure on fedora 2

notez · 10-31-2004, 03:26 PM

I'm having trouble running _any_ configure script on fedora core 2, the message i get is:

bash: ./configure: permission denied

I get the same message no matter what user i log in as, even root.
Anyone had the same problem and knows how to fix it?

Hi, and welcome to LQ.

Did you mount the partition with a no-exec flag?

Cheers,
Tink

No, don't think so.
It worked a couple of days ago, havn't done anything to the system since then.

Tinkster · 10-31-2004, 04:08 PM

The only other thing I can think of ... (if you're
not using bash as the default shell) did you change
permissions on /bin/bash or libraries that it uses?

Cheers,
Tink

I tried to add a file called libresolv.o into a tar archive to send it to another computer, may that be the cause?

Tinkster · 10-31-2004, 04:25 PM

Not too likely a candidate, I don't think ...

What does

Code:

ldd `which bash` | awk '{print $3}' | xargs ls -lL

say?

Cheers,

It prints:

Quote:

ls: (0x00b36000): No such file or directory
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 106829 mai 11 15:20 /lib/ld-linux.so.2

THAT is a worry ...

Now only this bit, please:
ldd `which bash`

What is your actual login-shell, though?

Cheers,
Tink

notez · 10-31-2004, 04:50 PM

I'm using bash as the login shell

Output of "ldd `which bash`":

Quote:

linux-gate.so.1 => (0x00b6a000)
libtermcap.so.2 => /lib/termcap.so.2 (0x00637000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x004d4000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0x003b7000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x0039e000)

If I try to just type in ls i get the same output as typing dir except with colors

Tinkster · 10-31-2004, 05:15 PM

linux-gate.so.1

No idea what that is, but it's obviously missing.
I still don't understand why you should be unable
to run configure. What are the first two lines of the
script, and what does ls -l configure give you for
the one that wouldn't run?

Cheers,
Tink

ls -l configure (tried to recopy the file):

Quote:

-rw------- 1 notez notez 265833 nov 1 17:38 configure

first lines of the script (excluding the copyright):

Quote:

#! /bin/bash
# Be Bourne compitable
if test -n "${ZSH_VERSION+set}" && (emulate sh) >/dev/null 2>&1; then
emulate sh
NULLCMD=:
alias -g '${1+"$@"}'='"$@"'
elif test -n "${BASH_VERSION+set}" && (set -o posix) >/dev/null 2>&1;
then
set -o posix
fi

What package did that one come with mate?
It's VERY unusual (to say the lease) to see a
configure script without execute permission,
did you manually change them?

Cheers,
Tink

notez · 11-01-2004, 04:37 PM

Havn't changed the script at all.
Since I'm not sure what package you mean I can say I installed the default developer packages (nothing more, nothing less) and the configure script is for the asuka ircd found at http://cvs.quakenet.org

Tinkster · 11-01-2004, 04:42 PM

Well ... just chmod u+x the script and off you go.

notez · 11-02-2004, 09:08 AM

i did: chmod u+x configure

and now when i try to run ./configure i get:

: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
