Hey everyone, I'm trying to follow this tutorial to install Fontforge on Ubuntu 11.04. (I did download it from the Ubuntu Software Center but it had some problems) I'm following the section on installing it from source code on GNU/Linux. Everything has been fine up to this point:

"Now configure, compile and install FontForge:
cd ~/src/fontforge/;
./configure --enable-pyextension --enable-type3 --enable-pasteafter \
--enable-tilepath --enable-double --enable-device-tables \
--with-capslock-for-alt --with-freetype-bytecode \
--with-freetype-src=../freetype2 --with-x --with-pango;
make;
sudo make install;"

When I enter this in the terminal I receive this message "--enable-tilepath: command not found"

I've done a little searching, and I know what the error "command not found" means, but I'm pretty new to Linux in general (installed it yesterday) and googling hasn't turned up much that I find understandable so I'm not sure what I should do to try to fix this. Any help you guys could give would be awesome. Thanks

Hello,

The / after each line means to continue down to the next line. Try the following to see if you can configure:
Cheers,

Solved! Thanks man, I really appreciate it. That seemed to be my problem. Fontforge is now up and working. (Without the problems I was having before either)

No problem! Mark your thread as solved using the thread tools at top, thanks!
