Permnission denied

[smss]

Hi
How to fix this erorr:
bash: ./configure: Permission denied.
I'm trying to compile a program language C Plus Plus by the command . /configure.
But I am faced with this error:
bash:. / configure: Permission denied
I had seen that person before the problem was resolved by ordering Chmd.
Examples:
chmd -R 777 [file name]
This command does not work for me!
And I think that should be the first command with other commands to install.
Or use this command before other commands require.

It is not chmd,it is chmod


chmod -R 777 [file name]

Oh!
Ok!
Typing mistake here and I apologize.
I mean this is the chmod command does not work!

You can use sudo in-front of the command to get rid of that error..Or you have to change the owner of the file using chown.
