[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/src# make install
./agrinst
make: execvp: ./agrinst: Permission denied
make: *** [install] Error 127
I was running as root and I got ``Permission denied''
It is strange and weird. Guess not even root is root anymore. Might be
selinux, did setroubleshoot pop up? run dmesg and it might be there. It could
also have something to do with this.
