Try this: cd /usr/local/squid/src ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/squid
That should get the compile started. RedHat 9 is no longer supported. You might be better off installing the newest Fedora Core (http://fedora.redhat.com/) (or an other distribution of Linux, such as SUSE http://www.novell.com/linux/suse/index.html), and using the supplied package files. When you start compiling software on a distribution that doesn't use that as its primary update method (Gentoo is one that does), you become more responsible for keeping it up to date. Instead of just using YUM (http://www.linux.duke.edu/projects/yum/) or apt-rpm (http://freshrpms.net/apt/) to keep your system up to date, you have to monitor mailing lists. Not that there's anything wrong with that. *shrug* In any case, you might check to see if your school library has any books on Linux administration.

I've been messing around with squid for a bit and nothing has worked. I've got the source for their latest release and I'm not really sure how I'm supposed to compile it. The guide tells me to run ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/squid after I've extraced the source to /usr/local/squid/src which I have done. However, the shell comes back and tells me that the directory ./configure does not exist. I'm running Linux Red Hat 9.0 Thanks in advance to anyone who can help with this problem.
