Hi, all, I've looked in the (to me) obvious places, but cannot find anything to help me discover why I can't configure and install programmes after a clean install. I get: ./configure: bad interpreter: Permission denied Any ideas? TIA Terence

Hi, all,
I've looked in the (to me) obvious places, but cannot find anything to help me discover why I can't configure and install programmes after a clean install.
I get:
./configure: bad interpreter: Permission denied
Any ideas?
Yes, it sounds weird. What are the program in question? -- Mads Martin Jørgensen, http://mmj.dk "Why make things difficult, when it is possible to make them cryptic and totally illogic, with just a little bit more effort?" -- A. P. J.

it seems general - I've just tried some I compiled and ran in my previous installation, but they fail the same way: blackbox-0.62.1 Windowmaker-0.80.0 mozilla-source-1.0.rc1 for example. terence

Just out of curiosity, what do you get from "cat /proc/mounts"? //Anders -- I swear I do declare - how did you get that there?

and, more to the point perhaps, what do you get from "ls -l /bin/bash"? -- I swear I do declare - how did you get that there?

I remember seeing that sort of message on a mailing list a long time ago. check that any scripts and sub-scripts which use #! point to valid shell (or Perl or otherwise) executables.

I am not quite sure if I am right but did you install the GNU autoconf and automake packages? Oliver -- ... don't touch the bang-bang fruit ...
I posted the following last Thursday, but don't recall seeing it on this
list, and so am reposting it. My thanks to all who helped, and my apologies
to all if this has appeared before.
