Hi there don't like to see someone stuck! Could you provide some details i think you said you're running SUSE 7.1 - is this right and is it on a standalone machine? Who have you logged in as? What answer do you get to $whoami go to the root directory by $cd / and type $ls -l what is the output? Go into /tmp and create a new directory $cd /tmp $mkdir test_configure what does $ls -l give now copy the file into this new directory $cp [path/file] /tmp/test_configure move into this directory $cd /tmp/test_configure what does $ls -l give now now try to unpack the file - use the full name - remember *.* is an MS convention and does not necessarily work in the same way on UNIX. Send the output also, what is the name of the file - where did you get it - one of us could refetch it and try it out ourselves. what does $umask return where did you get the archive file from? If you downloaded it are you sure it finished properly? try downloading it again? Have you had any errors with your PC - crashes etc. have you rebooted without shutting down first also what does df -h give you this should show your partitions and space available. Try these commands in a shell and then cut and paste the results - the whole lot at once if poss - into an email you can normally cut from a terminal by selecting all the text - just drag your mouse over it with the left button down - and then doubleclick in your email. As a last resort post up the area you live in and i'm sure someone would offer to pop in to help most importantly - if you find the answer let us know what it was good luck kev >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Original Message <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< On 11/29/01, 1:23:01 PM, Neil Stone <Neil@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote regarding Re: [LUG] Re: Cannot ./configure permission denied: > On Thu, 29 Nov 2001, Kelly Jones wrote: > > > > when i unpack the archive from the command line i get errors from all of the > > files in that directory > > cannot change ownership to UID 1000, gid 104: Operation not permitted > > cannot change mode to rwxr-sr-x: Operation not permitted > > > How big is the file ? reason for asking is, if it is small enough you > could email it to me and i could take a look from here.
