Unhappy


i am trying to update samba on my linux mandrake box
to 2.0.7
i transfer the files from a windoze system over network using ftp

once its there i unpack the file
move into the souce directory (comes out of packed file)
try to run ./configure and it says permission denied

do i have to change the owner, permissions ?
if so what permissions do i set?

any help would be great

thanks
