Abinash Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 Sir, I am trying to install a game which I hv downloaded and I followed the rules provided in the forum about how to install .tzr.bz2 files. But in the step where we have to make a configuration file it is saying "bash: ./configure is not a command". What should I do??? Please help me.

ianw1974 Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 The ./configure will be referring to you being in the particular directory where configure exists as this prepares the source file that you downloaded for it to then be compiled and installed. Also, for compiling you'd probably need some additional development tools, such as make and possibly even gcc. [ian@esprit ~]$ urpmq -i make && urpmq -i gcc Name : make Version : 3.81 Release : 3mdv2009.0 Group : Development/Other Size : 1094541 Architecture: x86_64 Source RPM : make-3.81-3mdv2009.0.src.rpm URL : http://www.gnu.org/directory/GNU/make.html Summary : A GNU tool which simplifies the build process for users Description : A GNU tool for controlling the generation of executables and other non-source files of a program from the program's source files. Make allows users to build and install packages without any significant knowledge about the details of the build process. The details about how the program should be built are provided for make in the program's makefile. The GNU make tool should be installed on your system because it is commonly used to simplify the process of installing programs. Name : gcc Version : 4.3.2 Release : 3mnb2 Group : Development/C Size : 19066519 Architecture: x86_64 Source RPM : gcc-4.3.2-3mnb2.src.rpm URL : http://gcc.gnu.org/ Summary : GNU Compiler Collection Description : A compiler aimed at integrating all the optimizations and features necessary for a high-performance and stable development environment. This package is required for all other GCC compilers, namely C++, Fortran 95, Objective C, Java and Ada 95. the documentation/README in the file downloaded should tell you what you need to get it compiled and installed.
