I unpack a tar, ready for building. But the configure script comes out as permission 644. I do "chmod --verbose 755 configure" and it says "Setting configure to 755 --succeeded" ( or words to that effect ) . Yet it hasn't changed a thing. What's going on? - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
