i did that. seems to have done nothing.

repro:
- login as user
- sudo gainroot -> "Root shell enabled"
- whoami -> root
- chmod +x -R /home/user/Metasploit/
- cd /home/user/Metasploit
- ls -tla

-rwxr-xr-x 1 user root 1883 Mar 25 15:45 msfweb

still

- cd /home/user/Metasploit
- ./msfweb -> ": No such file or directory"

same with ./msfconsole

blah...



edit: I got it working by re-downloading framework 3.0 directly to my device. Navigated to /home/user/ and tar -xvzf the path of the tar.gz as directed by the blog README. I didn't remove the .svn files nor did I have to chmod. Thanks to everyone who helped.
