First of all, make sure you are in the right directory before you run the './configure' command. Second, make sure there actually is a "configure" file under that directory once you uncompress and untar the tarball and 'cd' into it. Third, make sure that the "configure" file is executable (run the 'ls -l' command to check the permissions on the file). Finally (well, perhaps first), read the README or INSTALL file and make sure that you actually _have_ to run the "./configure" script. Even though that's the case quite often, there are some instances when there is no configure script whasoever. -- Nitebirdz Mozilla--> http://www.mozilla.org Linux XFS--> http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
