Trying to install latest cmake (v2.8.8) on N900....having weird problem trying to get the bootstrap script to run....

When I tried to run the script, I got 'permission denied'....

So, tried running script as root, still problem....

Checked permissions and it was:

Code:

-rw-r--r--    1  root     root      52155 Apr 18 11:10  bootstrap

So, I tried changing permissions to allow execution by doing:

Code:

chmod 777 bootstrap

So, then I tried:

Code:

chmod u+x bootstrap

No go....so tried changing ownership:

Code:

chgrp user bootstrap

But still no go.....tried a few other attempts to change permissions after that....but nothing works....

What should I do in order to be able to execute this script????

Thanks for any help!

Mark
