Configure tkdesk error

[John Ramsay_2]

I'm trying to install tkdesk to 11.00. I'm getting an execute permission denied when I run ./configure. I'm root and was wondering what I'm doing wrong?

[Pete Randall · Accepted solution]

Just do "chmod a+x ./configure" and try again.

ls -l FILENAME

You can't execute it until you change the permissions to do so:

man chmod

chmod o+x FILENAME

live free or die
harry

[Steven E. Protter]

chmod a+x ./configure

As root or the owner.

That will fix it.

Check the current permission on the file. You need to have execute permission set inorder to execute it:

# ls -la
# chmod

I'm brain dead - must be from eating too much - that time of the year.

chmod u+x FILENAME

live free or die

HI,

Looks like execute rights to me. start it sh ./configure or do a chmod u+x ./configure.
