Running script in FreeBSD

Question

First steps in FreeBSD: trying to run my installation script. Fast help needed:

# ls
configure
# file configure
configure: Bourne-Again shell script text executable
# ./configure
./configure: Command not found
# configure
configure: Command not found

What is wrong, how can I execute this script?

Answer 1

Do you have bash installed? If not use FreeBSD Ports to install it. Use where bash to find out.

Answer 2

Use the force Luke :)

# pkg_add -r bash

Answer 3

May it be, that your's configure script doesn't have appropriate executions rights. Try to cast:

chmod 777 configure

If it works, fix it to

chmod 764 configure
