I guess the /home filesystem could've been mounted noexec. Otherwize, I could only suggest doublechecking that all file-permissions are still properly set.

I tried 'cd .' but to no avail.

I got this compiling: Operating System: Linux 2.6.23.15-80.fc7

I'm not sure if this would work for you, but on some shells I've experienced a relevant error (permission denied) and typing 'cd .' before 'make config' solved the problem (I don't have an explanation for this though).

The "problem" seems affect *BSD only and there's currently a difference of opinion between eggheads and the *BSD developer's as to who is at fault.

Hey,

When I try to do: make config or make iconfig i get

***@*** [~/**/**]# make config
make: execvp: ./misc/modconfig: Permission denied
make: *** [config] Error 127

What is wrong and why cant I make the config? Is there another way around it? Thanks!
