./configure problem


I am trying to install klest crossword on my computer.
I downloaded the tar.gz file. Opened it in the folder klest_crossword in my downloads folder on my computer.

When I go to that particular folder and run ./configure, then I get the following error:
Code:
ecmporter@probe:~/downloads/klest_crossword$ ./configure
./configure: 5: cd: can't cd to klest-crossword
Cannot find file: klest-crossword.pro.
The file klest-crossword.pro is in the folder. So it is there.
And what does the message "can't cd to klest-crossword" mean?

The whole error message doesn't make sense to me.

Likely you can't run programs in your Download folder, move it to your home directory & unzip it there, make sure to make ./configure executable (chmod +x).

HOWTO "klest_crossword" :

Download klest-crossword-1.2.3-src.tar.gz from
http://heanet.dl.sourceforge.net/pro...2.3-src.tar.gz

$ tar xvf klest-crossword-1.2.3-src.tar.gz
$ cd klest-crossword-1.2.3-src/
$ ./configure
$ make
$ cd usr/games/
$ ./klest-crossword-1.2.3 : The klest-crossword GUI will open.

Build requirements : "Devel" packages for qt4 and qtwebkit.

I installed Klest crossword under Wine. That worked. Thank you for answering.
