netpbm install issue

scsa20 · 07-17-2009, 07:05 PM

Hey, I'm trying to install netpbm on my dedicated server and I'm getting the follow message every time I try to run ./configure

bash: ./configure: Permission denied

And I know I have permission to run ./configure because I tried it on a different software and it ran just fine.

And I can't even do the make either because I got a permission denied again. Can anyone help me out here? Thanks.

My dedicated server is running CentOS 5 if it helps any. Thank you.

So why not use
# yum install netpbm
? ?
That would be the correct approach for a server.

About 'configure' : Sometimes a configure file
is not executable, then please do
chmod +x configure
or use
'sh configure' to run the file.

Did not noticed about the yum command, that worked out perfectly, thanks knudfl.
