nginx install fails via zc.buildout cmmi recipe

I'm using zc.buildout to install nginx for my custom app, but buildout fails the nginx install with the following error:

1	sh: ./configure: /bin/sh: bad interpreter: Permission denied

Anyone know why this is, and how I can fix it?

Edit: here is my nginx config in my buildout config

[nginx]
recipe = zc.recipe.cmmi
url = http://nginx.org/download/nginx-1.2.2.tar.gz
environment = TMPDIR=${buildout:directory}/tmp

nginx buildout

It's probably failing because buildout is attempting to run a script from the system /tmp volume, which is mounted as noexec.

The solution is to create your own tmp directory within your home directory and set your TMPDIR environment variable to point to it, either at the command line prior to running buildout, or in buildout.cfg via the cmmi recipe's environment option.

Hope that helps!

This is definitely the issue. Setting TMPDIR manually does the job. Setting it in my buidlout config unfortunately does not work, it still fails with the same error, and seems to try to use the default /tmp folder. I'll update my original post with the nginx bit.

Ok I found that the default zc.recipe.cmmi does not set the tmpdir environment variable correctly for some reason. I ended up using hexagonit.recipe.cmmi which has a slightly different approach to setting the variables, but it works :)
