permission to install software
Hello everyone,
I want to install a software on an external hard disk. I used Fedora core 6 whose default shell is bash. As user I have changed to sh shell because in order to install I have to use the sh shell. I had changed permission on all the files using
sh-3.1$ chmod +x configure.linux
and all the files have execute permissions. However, when I execute
sh-3.1$ ./configure.linux
sh: ./configure.linux: Permission denied
I got a couple of more experienced users to help me but the problem remains. Can someone suggest how to solve this problem? Thank you.
