./INSTALL Permission Denied
Hey I'm kinda new to Linux and I was doing a search on LQ. I just could not find anything that was relative to what I was doing. Every time I try to ./INSTALL, it says to me Permission denied. I have also tried it under root, sudo, and su, but no go. If anyone can point me to the right direction I would be grateful.

I guess you are trying to install from a .tar.gz and the INSTALL file is contained in the directory you have just untarred. Hmmm... usually INSTALL is a text file containing instruction on how to install the software. You can try
Code:
more INSTALL |
It sounds like you are trying to install something from source.
The INSTALL file is a text file with instructions on installation, along with the README file. There probably is a ./configure file you should run instead.
On of the configure options that is very common is to change the base directory of the installation. Often people prefer to use /usr instead of the /usr/local default. |
It's a permissions issue, as root run:
Code:
chmod a+x install Although the previous post is relevant, if it has files like configure and makefile etc., then you need to follow those instructions on compiling. |
