[LUG] Re: Cannot ./configure permission denied

[kj@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

I still cannot execute the script, same error.  I can chown the Folder and 
files to whoever i like.  but i cannot us chmod a=rwx *.* when i am in the 
folder or specifying the folder name when i am up one level in the 
directory.  Both times i get the same error "operation not permitted".  I 
also have another folder which i have the same problem with.  i expect it's 
just something stupid but i cannot install either piece of software until i 
resolve this problem.
Can anyone suggest anything else?
How do i list the owner and permissions from a terminal as at the moment i 
am using the file manager. 

Also if i start a su Konqueror i can tick the boxes but the permissions do 
not change??????
Thanks for your help
