    I am installing spatialite on android from tutorial below

    http://code.google.com/p/spatialite-android/

    I have extracted files to folder on sdcard and now running
    ./configure --build=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --host=arm-linux-eabi

    but I get error ./configure: permission denied

    have done chmod 777
    root access is available
    have tried running su first then ./configure - same error
    have tried running "su ./configure --build=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --host=arm-linux-eabi" - but receive parameter error

    any ideas on how to install are welcome


    I have: Samsung galaxy ace
    Terminal Emulator installed on Gingerbread 2.3.6

    You need to set executable permission on the file.

    sudo chmod +x ./configure

    Is the sdcard writable? Is the physical lock switch turned on?

    Is this some odd old flavour of linux? What shell?

    Try "chmod a+x configure". Also try "chmod -R 777 *".

    Actually is seems my sdcard is not picked up and this is on usb storage - can I run from there or does it need to be on sdcard?
