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?

Thanks to both of you. Good pointers.
The drive is a partition on the same spindle, mounted '-t ext3 /dev/sda5 /keep', BUT /etc/fstab has the partition as 'users,defaults'...so it IS possible that 'defaults' = 'noexec'...easily tested: thank you.

However, that would mean that (see my second post) the Fedora recovery environment uses a different 'default'...hmmmm....possible I guess, as it is mounting stuff which you are intended to use/play with...why not execute as well...

As to extended attribs...I cannot see there are any, or why there would be, as there weren't any before this last re-install...
But I will check that.

Thanks.

Otherwise, I need to use trace or dump or what?????
