./ Configure Permission Denied. Help Please!

I have been searching forums over many different sites for a few days and have not found a thread that fixed my situation. I am running a rooted Nexus S with ICS 4.0.4, kernel verision 3.0.8-g6656123. Trying to run a ./configure command using adb shell. everytime i get "sh: ./configure: cannot execute - Permission denied".

To start, i run adb shell, then su and checked under superuser to see that root was granted permission. also executed chmod 777 configure. obviously i have android sdk installed and installed the correct google usb driver, android sdk tools and android sdk platform tools. Superuser is updated to the newest version.

I am brand new to android rooting and commands using adb.

Are my files located in the wrong folder to execute such a command?
I had taken the tar.gz file and run tar xvf nameoffile.tar.gz
that command had come from a thread i found. not sure if it is the correct command but it unpacks the file and creates the configure i want to execute to then make and then make install.

My entire process may be incorrect or i'm missing a minor detail. all help is appreciated. :confused:
 
No. sh is a bash script command. What I mean is the sh you are trying to run (./configure), where is it?
 
there is a command called id - the default user and password where 0 and 0 (zero).
using id 00 su ./configure allowed me to execute
