I am using cacko 1.23 on a zaurus sl-c750.
Whenever I try to ./ anything e.g. ./gnu-tar, I get "permission denied", regardless of su or not. However, it works if the current directory is vfat but not if it's ext2.
What is happening and what should I do?

Perhaps you're trying to extract to a read-only filesystem?

I really wish it were that simple. I'm using an ext2 formatted sd card mounted as rw, with write protect disabled.

to be clear. you can "touch test" on the filesystem?

Does ./gnu-tar have the correct permissions?

If so, can you post the output so we can see what you're actually doing? The output of 'mount' may also be useful.

Thanks everyone. You'll have to forgive me, I'm new to linux and am still finding my way. Turns out my permissions are messed up. I've just learnt how to use chmod and now everything is fine.
Thanks again,
Anthony
