/bin/sh: bad interpreter: Permission denied
today i started the LFS book (version 4.0).
Basically i am using slackware 9.0 to try and install a new linux completely from source on another partition.

Now i took the book's recommendations and created a user called lfs so i wouldn't have to do the stuff as root, and i have got the new LFS partition mounted at /mnt/lfs
the first thing we do is to compile a static version of bash to put in our new linux partition, because we want a statically compiled working set of utilities with which to build the new system when we chroot into the new location (at /mnt/lfs, or /dev/hda6 to its mates).
Now the thing is, well you can see what the thing is here:

Code:
lfs@boxotrix:/mnt/lfs/static/sources/bash-2.05a$ ./configure --enable-static-link 
--prefix=/mnt/lfs/static --with-curses && make && make install

-su: ./configure: /bin/sh: bad interpreter: Permission denied

lfs@boxotrix:/mnt/lfs/static/sources/bash-2.05a$ su
Password:

root@boxotrix:/mnt/lfs/static/sources/bash-2.05a# ./configure --enable-static-link 
--prefix=/mnt/lfs/static --with-curses && make && make install

bash: ./configure: /bin/sh: bad interpreter: Permission denied

root@boxotrix:/mnt/lfs/static/sources/bash-2.05a# exit

lfs@boxotrix:/mnt/lfs/static/sources/bash-2.05a$ ls -al /bin/sh

lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            4 Apr 20 18:44 /bin/sh -> bash*

lfs@boxotrix:/mnt/lfs/static/sources/bash-2.05a$ ls -al /bin/bash

-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     bin        628664 Sep 22  2002 /bin/bash*

the first attempt is as user "lfs" but then i su to root and get the same error! any idea what the issue is? i am stumped.
