Hello. i have this little problem with compiling bot, i have read all other permission messages from this forum and they haven't got this kind of problem. It worked first when i did ./configure at a few weeks ago, but now it just says
[root@Servah eggdrop1.6.12]# ./configure
bash: ./configure: Permission denied
so what is wrong, i have changed all my permissions, i think so, this eggdrop configuring. This is not only problem, i have this same permission problem with other programs that i try to configure, so can someone "unix-god" tell me what can i do to make this work, i know it's not so big problem to re-install linux, but i woulden't like to do that, i think that would solve this...

Not sure if this is your problem, but you do know you cant run or install eggdrop as root, dont you?

yes i know, that was just an example

[tunah@Servah eggdrop1.6.12]$ ./configure
bash: ./configure: Permission denied
[tunah@Servah eggdrop1.6.12]$ sh ./configure

This is Eggdrop's GNU configure script.
It's going to run a bunch of strange tests to hopefully
make your compile work without much twiddling.

checking for gcc... gcc
checking for C compiler default output... a.out
checking whether the C compiler works... configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs.
If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'.
[tunah@Servah eggdrop1.6.12]$

This is inproperly configured system.

You will need to install the development packages that come with the OS, but are optional in installation.

hmm, the thing was that my linux was properly installed, but this thing that i can't have rights to run ./configure has come in a few weeks, don't know if there has been a hacker in my system, that has done something to get my system run inproperly? but you said something to re-installing something? could you tell me how to do it?
