I am trying to install some software on Linux, and so far it isn't going
File is: xxxx.tar.gz
What I did was: gunzip xxxx.tar.gz ; then tar xxxx.tar.
I did open the files and even created /bin and /lib.
However when I try to do ./configure it tells me unknown command - and wouldn't budge. I didn't even come to make & make install.....
Am I doing something wrong? I did this commands in root so I don't get it.
Where do you usually install the software - which / , should it all be under root or can I do it in /home/xxuser?
Thanx for your patience.
