./configure

[alex]

I'm have a problem with ./configure in that I sometimes
get a response like this:
bash: ./configure: No such file or directory

Here's my procedure prior to ./configure

1. Download the tar package to /home/downloads
2. cd /home/downloads
3. tar -vzxf tarpackage
4. ls (to make sure the untarred package is in /home/downloads)
5. cd package
6. ./configure

With some downloaded tar packages, the procdure works fine but
with some I get the response that there's no such file or
directory.

What am I missing or doing wrong? I've read instructions that
say to download to a suitable directory? Is /home/downloads a
'suitable directory'?
