“bash: ./configure: /bin/sh: bad interpreter: Permission denied”

“bash: ./configure: /bin/sh: bad interpreter: Permission denied” error commonly occurs  when you have wrong options set in /etc/fstab and are trying to compile some code.

The partition you have mount that stores the source code you are trying to compile is identified in /etc/fstab by a line similar to the following one, also/etc/mtab has the same line displayed

/dev/hda13   /foo   ext3  user  1 2

look at the “user” flag, only displays user option

man mount

~~~
user: Allow an ordinary user to mount the file system. This option implies the options noexec, nosuid, and nodev (unless overridden by subsequent options, as in the option line user,exec,dev,suid).

Just change the user flag into defaults and you should be able to compile the whole world.
