Permission error on ./configure #804

Closed waynethorsted closed 10 months ago

waynethorsted commented 10 months ago

Hello, I previously installed libacvp on a UBUNTU system and had been using it without a problem. Unfortunately, that system had an unrecoverable error and had to be rebuilt. When I now try to install libacvp-2.0.1 (I don't remember the previous version), I get the following error. I do not remember anything like this happening before. Would you please let me know what I am doing wrong?

cnexadmin@lmeng-0680:~$ cd libacvp-2.0.1/ cnexadmin@lmeng-0680:~/libacvp-2.0.1$ ./configure --with-ssl-dir=/usr/bin/openssl --with-libcurl-dir=/usr/bin/curl -bash: ./configure: Permission denied

I don't remember needing root to install it before, but I did try sudo and got this:

cnexadmin@lmeng-0680:~/libacvp-2.0.1$ sudo ./configure --with-ssl-dir=/usr/bin/openssl --with-libcurl-dir=/usr/bin/curl [sudo] password for cnexadmin: sudo: ./configure: command not found

Thank you, Wayne

Hello!

I am not able to recreate this on either of two ubuntu VMs; nor can I think of anything we could have changed that would prevent configure from running at all when invoked.

This seems like something that is caused by permissions on the ubuntu machine; I would start looking there. Configure is just a shell script after all.

Thanks, Andrew

Thank you for your quick reply. It is interesting that I've gotten the same result on 2 different Ubuntu systems. Is there any reason that I should have to be 'root' in order to do the install?

I found my issue. It was operator error, as expected. Thank you again.
