**hiddeninfluence** · April 16th, 2013

I have been trying to configure this file for well over 4 hours now and I cant understand why it wont do it, the files in the directory are as follows

autogen.sh configure.in COPYING doc etc LICENSE m4 Makefile.am README RELEASE.NOTES rpm schemas src tools

Can anyone help?

Keep in mind that not all software use:

Code:

./configure
make
make install

, specially binary packages. That's why Cheesemill ask for the content of the README file.

It is always useful to first identify exactly what program you need help with and, secondly, if you do manage to resolve a problem yourself to say what you did.

This helps other users reading this forum who may have similar problems with the particular program. This way we all help each other.
