At a guess, I think the partition you have the configure script on is mounted noexec (if it has 'user' permissions in fstab you need to have 'exec' specifically added after it, since 'user' implies 'noexec'. See 'man mount' for details.)

Another thought also, are you not suppose to run ./configure and make as user, then make install, only, as root? Patrick -- --- KMail v1.5.9.1i --- SuSE Linux Pro v8.2 --- Registered Linux User #225206 On any other day, that might seem strange...
