Launchpad itself

Running out of options

Asked by Gareth Bult

Ok, I have a package that builds locally without a problem. I am unable to get PPA to build it.
I "seem" to have solved the dependency issue by tagging the package with lots of build-time dependencies, however I'm now getting a "permission denied" error when the build is trying to run ./configure.

It wasn't doing this before, and I've absolutely no idea why it would do it now.
Please can someone help me, otherwise I'm going to have to abandon PPA and just stick with website downloads.

Thanks.

Here's the most recent rejection;

 * Source Package: gambas-svn

This appears to be a packaging issue, not a PPA problem. It seems like your package is not creating an executable configure script.

Gareth, did Christian's answer helped you to solve your problem ?

make: execvp: ./configure: Permission denied
}}}

The build log failure indicates your source 'configure' cannot be executed, this is easily fixable in the source package.

If you need further assistance, please contact one of the ubuntu-motu guys at #ubuntu-motu on irc.freenode.net. I'm sure they will be more than happy to help you with it.

Can you help with this problem?
