Created attachment 622238 [details] the log of configure script Description of problem: I was trying to run a ./configure script in my source folder located at /run/media/abhay/New Volume/abhay/progs/autotools/tut_prog. The script exits saying, checking whether we are cross compiling... configure: error: in `/run/media/abhay/New Volume/abhay/progs/autotools/tut_prog': But when i try to run the same script upon copying the source code at location /home/abhay/tut_prog it works fine. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): $ rpm -qa autoconf autoconf-2.69-3.fc18.noarch How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. create a source code in folder whose descendant name contains space 2. run autoconf 3. run configure script Actual results: $ sh configure checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... /usr/bin/mkdir -p checking for gawk... gawk checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes checking for gcc... gcc checking whether the C compiler works... yes checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out checking for suffix of executables... checking whether we are cross compiling... configure: error: in `/run/media/abhay/New Volume/abhay/progs/autotools/tut_prog': configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs. If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'. See `config.log' for more details Expected results: The script should run successfully without any error Additional info: attaching the confige.log

According to 'error.log' it seems like permission problem, not a 'white-space' related one. Look at these lines: 95 configure:2783: checking whether we are cross compiling 96 configure:2791: gcc -o conftest conftest.c >&5 97 configure:2795: $? = 0 98 configure:2802: ./conftest 99 configure: line 2804: ./conftest: Permission denied 100 configure:2806: $? = 126 Could you observe details please? Seems like this is some weird file system setting (considering that in your home directory it just works). I have the same symptoms when I set some weird umask, like: $ umask 0113 Thanks, Pavel
