I just installed Mandrake Linux 7.0, and it seems great except for a
very fundamental and frustrating problem.

This is a very simple vanilla unix command line question, but it is not
behaving like the unix I'm used to.

When I select a subdirectory (e.g.:  /home/ted/devapp/bin/), I am able
to see a script called configure that I want to run.

Now, I can see the file is there by ls . ,  e.g.:

[root@schucky bin]# ls -l configure
-rwxrwxrwx   1 root     root          962 May  2 19:28 configure*

[root@schucky bin]# ls -l ./configure
-rwxrwxrwx   1 root     root          962 May  2 19:28 ./configure*

but I get an error when I try to execute it from the same prompt:

[root@schucky bin]# ./configure
bash: ./configure: No such file or directory

Now what could I possibly be missing?  The file is there, but when I try
to execute it from the command like I get this bizarre 'not found'
error.

I have *got* to be missing something very fundamental...please clue me
in.

Thanks!!!
