[snipped ll output] I remember having the same problem on my LFS box, where it boiled down to casting the bones, doing the rain dance twice and recompiling glibc. I wouldn't recommend this, though. As others have pointed out, check that your /home isn't mounted noexec, and try installing the setiathome package. That downloads the appropriate binary again and places it in /usr/bin. Run it from your personal seti@HOME directory as usual.
