compiling tar.bz2... "./configure make make install" doesn't work
I extracted "all-20040809.tar.bz2" in "all-20040809". I went there to write "./configure"... and so on. But it just says:
No such file or directory
Thanks for any help
i am still a bloody newbie. I don't know. I just try it this way out...is it wrong?
...and: I didn't find any readme about this codecs which could tell me, how to compile and install it.
Was there any kind of a readme or install file in the unpacked files? I once downloaded something where you skipped the ./configure and went straight to make and then install. Or maybe after unpacking it you just need to copy it to the correct location.

Rep:
Re the "swearing". There may be some confusion because that particular word (b****y) isn't considered offensive to many english speakers. In the USA it is generally thought rather mild. It would barely get a rise out of a little old lady sunday school teacher. I do know that in Britain it is considered very offensive, but then I've watched a lot of Brittish comedy on Public TV.
