As you can see ./configure does not seem to work for me <frustrating> OR is it because I already have a Makefile and then you can see the output from Makefile
When you issue commands like ./configure or make do you have to include the file name i.e. in this case kcheckers? Another note is in the new directory I have an executable file (gear) does this change the installation of the program? Here is what is states in the Readme file
KCheckers is a Qt-based checkers board game.
Requirements: Qt 3.0
Installation: make qmake
make
make install
Information: If you find any bugs, send a report to
andi@ukr.net.

Sorry for all the trouble I'm just a stubborn fellow
