No, "noexec" is causing your problem, it is currently an active attribute of your mount, as shown by the output ''[root@mamdo MPlayer-1.0rc2]# mount | grep 'arkive' /dev/sda7 on /mnt/arkive type reiserfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,user=dd)'' What it does is what Kevin suspected, basically kills the executable attribute's power on all files in that filesystem. That's why you can run sh configure but not ./configure. Somehow your mount action is getting the noexec attribute assigned, I guess maybe it can be udev or some script you mount with or somesuch. You can do this: mount /dev/sda7 /mnt/arkive -treiserfs -oremount,rw,nosuid,nodev,user=dd to effectively remount taking out the "noexec" part. -Andy -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
