when i try to compile a software from the source files(tar.gz files)..the following error ---
"*** No targets specified and no makefile found " shows up as i type the command "make".

i have tried many reliable sources and all yield this same error message.
After configuring(with ./configure) the source directory...no makefile is created...instead makefile.in and other folders and files are present in the source folder.
i also have installed the build-essential package in my ubuntu 8.04
but nothing worked the right way...
what should i do now??:confused:
