Finally SOLVED] Permission denied

[StrayBit]

I have VL7.0 on another partition.

All these files are owned by bruce:

Dell://mnt/Code/Info/Curses/samples
bruce:$ dir
alphalist.sh  entry.sh     label.sh   radio.sh   selection.sh  viewer.sh
calendar.sh*  fselect.sh   matrix.sh  scale.sh   slider.sh
dialog.sh     itemlist.sh  mentry.sh  scroll.sh  template.sh
Dell://mnt/Code/Info/Curses/samples
bruce:$ ./calendar.sh
bash: ./calendar.sh: Permission denied
Dell://mnt/Code/Info/Curses/samples
bruce:$

The same thing happens with ./configure in another directory - even after su.

Any idea what I've done this time?

edit: In Vl6, I get

bruce:$ ./calendar.sh
bash: ./calendar.sh: /bin/sh: bad interpreter: Permission denied

Have you used ls -la checking for owner:group and
file permissions.

What happens if you touch the file and then try to run the script again?

[bigpaws]

Have you tried sh program.sh vs ./program.sh?

Are these executable scripts and are they still such. I have moved scripts and had to make them executable again.

/mnt/Code is a separate partition formated reiserfs so I don't have to copy.

edit 14:22 Thinking about what I had just posted, I looked into calendar.sh and found

Code:

#
# Create some global variables.
#
CDK_CALENDAR="${CDK_BINDIR=..}/cdkcalendar"
CDK_LABEL="${CDK_BINDIR=..}/cdklabel"

So, what I've got to do is find where cdkcalendar, et al are and adjust these labels accordingly.

Thanks to you all for your support.

The preceeding were trying to run a script file.  I've run into the same thing with an executable file:

Dell://mnt/Code/Info/Curses/examples
bruce:$ ls -la fse*
-rwxrwxrwx 1 bruce bruce 104499 2013-01-14 10:19 fselect_ex*
-rw-rw-rw- 1 bruce bruce   9075 2012-03-22 03:25 fselect_ex.c
Dell://mnt/Code/Info/Curses/examples
bruce:$ ./fselect_ex
bash: ./fselect_ex: Permission denied
Dell://mnt/Code/Info/Curses/examples
bruce:$ cd
Dell:/~
bruce:$ ls -la fse*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 bruce bruce 104499 2013-01-14 10:19 fselect_ex*
-rw-r--r-- 1 bruce bruce   9075 2012-03-22 03:25 fselect_ex.c
Dell:/~
bruce:$ ./fselect_ex

(I copied the two files to ${HOME}/bruce using thunar before cd.) 

I don't quite understand it: Code is owned by root and group bruce has rw privileges.  All directories in Code are owned by bruce.  Chown bruce Code did not make a difference.

Is possible that the partition mounted in /mnt/Code is mounted with noexec option ?

[StrayBit]

Would that be implied with

Code:

/dev/sdb3 /mnt/Code  reiserfs  defaults,user  0  2

[uelsk8s]

Would that be implied with

Code:

/dev/sdb3 /mnt/Code  reiserfs  defaults,user  0  2

adding user after defaults turns noexec on you need it this awy

Code:

/dev/sdb3 /mnt/Code  reiserfs  defaults,user,exec  0  2

Thanks, Uels.  That did it. I can now run the examples with out having to copy to my home directory.
