*Intalling from .tar.gz

I have Red Hat 7 .2 or .3 i cant remember, i got a tutorial for linux, i followed the steps to unzip it (untar it, whatever), that works, then the commands it gives me are ctpytic at best, they are

./configure
To run the configure script, to create the Makefile file.

make
To compile the source code (to create the binaries), using the Makefile file.

make install
To install the binaries (and some other files) in the directories specified in the Makefile. This command requires you be the root user.


when i type ./configure
configure
/configure whatever it says invalid command, and if i try make it says no make file found

can someone help me, oh and if it makes a difference my gui is gnome

if you uise make, are you tragetting the full path? example..

make /home/ryan/blah.f

I think the thing that is getting me is the ./configure, what if i tried home/Bryan/apps/configure ?

Figure out where the configure file is that you downloaded and then target that path.

"find configure" should find that file (if Redhat is like FreeBSD).
