I am trying to install qemu on my system. I looked at Vmware and didn't want to spend that much, so I tried bochs, and got lost trying to set up the configutration file. So I am trying QEmu. I downloaded the source and followed the directions on the web site. #7.1 on the documentation.

I exctracted the files and am supposed to do

cd /tmp
tar ... ... ... tar.gz
cd /tmp/qemu-0.7.0
./comfigure
make
make install

I have a copy of the konsole

root@kubuntu:~ # cd /tmp/qemu-0.7.0
root@kubuntu:/tmp/qemu-0.7.0 # ./configure

I am running Kubuntu on an HP Pavillion ze4800.

I don't know why it won't work, and I am still slightly new to linux.

You need to install gcc. Look for it on your cd.

Well, I got further. It's telling me that there is no make file now.

./configure needs to finish w/o errors so it can create the makefile.

since you are running kubuntu try running sudo apt-get install qemu. worked for me in xubuntu.

good luck!

Or try Virtualbox.
