Hi there,
Installed Ubuntu server. Was able using aptitude to install all necessary packages, except one or two which I need to compile using their sources. Well, every single time i try to use ./configure I get: ./configure: command not found :rolleyes:

Can anyone help?

Thank you.

Well is there a file "configure" in the directory you are trying to run "configure"?

Cheers,
Bart.

Find file named README or INSTALL, follow the instruction. Not every package has a configure script.

Yes, there is a file "configure" in the directory. I was hoping that someone can help and not try to make me feel as an idiot.

As I said, thank you but it is not very helpful. The package I'm trying to compile has configure file and must be installed by executing ./configure first....

If you tell us what package/program you're trying to install, somebody here might have a better idea of how to help you.
