You need to cd into konversation-1.3.1 first, then configure. # cd konversation-1.3.1 # ./configure The config file is located in the new directory that contains the program you just untared. -Tim On Aug 14, 2010 2:27 PM, "Eric - A" wrote: > Here's what returned: > > root@Acer:~# cd /home > root@Acer:/home# cd eric > root@Acer:/home/eric# cd Downloads > root@Acer:/home/eric/Downloads# tar -jxf konversation-1.3.1.tar.bz2 > root@Acer:/home/eric/Downloads# ./configure > -bash: ./configure: No such file or directory > root@Acer:/home/eric/Downloads# > > > > . > Eric - A > . > > > ---------- Original Message ---------- > From: Stephen > To: Main PLUG discussion list > Subject: Re: File - revisited > Date: Sat, 14 Aug 2010 14:20:24 -0700 > > "tar jxfv konversation-1.3.1.tar.bz2" > this should actually be a : tar -jxfv konversation-1.3.1.tar.bz2 > > "ls > cd konversation-1.3.1 > ./configure > make > make install" > > This part is pretty much normal and i think will work better with the > switches working correctly. > > > > On Sat, Aug 14, 2010 at 2:08 PM, Eric - A wrote: >> Maybe I wasn't clear enough in what I'm doing.
