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

Probably the combination of the two. MyDocs is a FAT32 partition, which doesn't support permissions, so doing a chmod doesn't actually do anything. Once the file is moved, it can then be made executable and everything works.

I'm always cautious of being off-topic. Didn't know that "bump" old threads was prohibited too.

Sorry, private messages from now on
