..well, how do i make the configure script executable??
is it written somewhere? i'm drawing inside the help guide and can't
find anything...
do `ls -l`
you should see something like:
-rwxr--r-- 1 root root (size) (date) configure
If it is -rw-r--r--, then do a `chmod 744 configure` to fix it. However,
most packages that I have dealt with will make the configure script
executable by default. If the file is not there, then you are either in
the wrong directory, or that particular package doesn't use the
configure script to make the binary. In that case, you will have to use
the Makefile provided by using `make`, or do it manually with gcc. There
is almost certainly a file describing the build process for the package.
Most will have a file called 'INSTALL'
