Compiling Problems

[Blake]

When I try to compile anything, I decompress the file and then i type ./configure. But it comes up with

bash: ./configure: No such file or directory

Please Help!

Thanks In advance.

Re: Compiling Problems

You have to be in the directory containing the configure script to use ./configure. If there is no configure script then it's probably not a source tarball, but a theme or resource package of some sort.

Many software doesn't require you to do ./configure, for example firefox. Can we know what you trying to install BTW ?
