Hi,

I'm a total newbie to linux and in desperate need of your help.

I've been downloading some problems, and am having major problems installing them. I especialy have problems with waveforge.
The readme file tells me to do ./configure, but linux doesn't recognize that command. I can't see any file called configure in the folder either (I did unpack succesfully btw)
Anyone who can tell me what to do?

Thanx!
Anne

Make sure you're in the directory you untarred the file to..if doing ./configure still won't work then you probably don't have a c compiler installed..the default c compiler for linux is gcc...so just open up a console and type the following

gcc --version

or

gcc -v

If you get an error message in return saying command not found then you have to install gcc first in order to compile your waveforge package.
