problem with ./configure
 

I am tryin to install the latest version of samba (samba-2.2.5). I used ark to extract it to /root/. When I am at the konsole and I type ./configure it says no such file or directory found.

I am running RH 7.3 server install KDE 3.0

any help would be appreciated

Are you able to do a 'make'? Is there a readme file you can refer to?

Are you sure you're in the /root/samba-2.2.5 directory? -mk

yes and in still dosen't work

hey people
 

try sh .configure

u might want to
ls -l configure
and see if the file has x(executable) permission
..

Why don't you just try to install a rpm. Then you dont have to configure.

look under /samba-2.2.5/source

do chroot -x ./configure

that will make it a executable and then it should work

move source to /usr/local/src

mv current_src_dir /usr/local/src

If I am not mistaken doesn't samba have a src directory you have to compile from? so you would want to be in /root/samba-2.2.5/src and then run ./configure, I am not in front of my linux box so I can't say that for sure.

used rpm much easier....all you have to do is click on it :)
