Weird problem.
I downloaded an svn version of mythtv, cd'd to the folder, and tried to run './configure --help', Got a 'Permission Denied' error.

I am root and the permissions were and are 0775...chmod changes nothing, even trying 0777.

Does anyone have any idea what is going on? The directory is on a 'rw' partition, since I just downloaded to it, using a script. But the configure script itself will not run. I changed the first line from:
#!/bin/sh    to #!/bin/bash  > no change.

And bash *is* in /bin and executable, owned by root.

I'm stumped....

What is the partition? Is it a remote drive mounted locally? Is it a USB drive - they are typically mounted noexec? What does /bin/mount tell you?

Could it be an SELinux denial? What does /var/log/audit/audit.log tell you?

Anything in /var/log/messages?
