Dynebolic 2.5.2

Hi,

I am root and in a dir that I just unpacked Python-2.6.1 in.

When I do a ./configure I get the error "permission denied."

The disk partition is writable since I just made the dir to move
Python-2.6.1.tgz into for unpacking... and it unpacked Ok.

whoami responds with "root"

Earlier I had the same problem trying to make gnupg, and have
not solved that one either.

Thanks for help.
