:-)) No - reiserfs, SuSE 7.2

My next guess is that the file (configure) is in dos file format and so 
its trying to run #!/bin/sh[dospoo]

try vim on the file, it'll report strangess in the bottom line after you 
run it.  look for things like [dos] and [noeol]

esc:q! to exit it after (if youre not familar with vi)

If this is the case, you should be able to convert it with a less 
intelligent editor (such a pico), add a blank line or soemthing under the 
hashbang line so its forced to re-write the file.
