really stupid question about ./configure error

ok, this is a really stupid question, but i haven't figured out an answer on my own yet. when i try to configure a package with ./configure i get the old no such file or directory error, i've checked to make sure gcc and qt are both installed and they are, what else could be missing??

You get that error because there's no configuration file present in that directory.
Read the README and INSTALL for that package.

Quote myself in previous post:
"You get that error because there's no configuration file present in that directory."

Quote the README file:
"To re-compile: edit Makefile to suit your system type 'make'"

And read the README file carefully this time, it's all there.
