anybody know what the problem is? I'm using Knoppix version 3.8.1 on the CD.

did u run
./configure and make earlier??

make is not required when u running "make install" but ./configure is req. since it will generate Makefiles

regards

when I run make I get the same error. When I run ./configure it says bash: ./configure: No such file or directory

i'm in super user mode

there is already a make file that came in the tarball

make install ???

I'm probably just stating the obvious, but the make script is apparently referencing something for which it has no rule to make.

If there is no configure script, than there may be something else. Have you tried the README file? (sorry, thats probably a dumb question. But its good to ask anyway)

Also try, ./make first (I doubt that will help, but what the hell)

You can also try opening the make files to see where the error is happening. That usually gives you some insight.
