[maemo-developers] Chmod Issue on 810

[From: Dr. Nicholas Shaw]

I have an issue that has me confused.  Thanks to Frantisek, I have C and C++
installed and running on my 810.  The next thing was to install Sqlite3
(needed for a program I'm migrating) so I downloaded the source files onto
my SD card.  I became root via rootsh, ran configure and, error.  So I did
an ls on the configure file and, surprise - the execute bits were missing.
I was more than surprised as I've downloaded/compiled the latest versions of
Sqlite3 several times without error on my SUSE and Debian Linux servers.  I
also ran chmod by itself just to make sure it was actually there.  

I ran chmod and checked the permissions and - still no execute bits.
Thinking it had something to do with the external card, I moved the entire
directory to the internal card - same thing.  

I created a script in /home/user and ran chmod to make it executable and -
no problem. I've tried chmod as user and as root with the same results.  It
works in the user directory but not on either internal or external card and
there's not enough space in /user to place all the source code then compile
the code.  

Any suggestions will be appreciated and THANKS IN ADVANCE! 

Nick.
