Problem with the ./configure command

To begin with, check that you cannot install this program directly via your package manager. If this doesn't ring a bell, let us know which program it is and which Linux distribution you are using.

Next, the command "./configure" means to execute the (executable) file "configure" located in the current directory. This is probably not the case here. You probably need to do a cd to position yourself in this directory.

cd /the/path/to/the/right/directory

Typically, it would look like this (changing toto to what it needs to be):

tar xzvf toto.tgz cd toto ./configure make sudo make install

Good luck

Hello,

Dumb question, have you at least decompressed the ".gz" archive?

First, thank you for your responses.

Well, I use Ubuntu and I'm trying to install Floola (software to replace iTunes) which is not in the Ubuntu package.

And finally, yes, I decompressed them.

Thank you in advance for your responses.

and I think there is a syntax error in my command line:

martvv@martvv-M50Vn:~/Downloads/Floola-linux$ ./configure

Re-

There's nothing to compile, it's ready to use. Here's the content of the folder after extraction:

$ ls -lh total 28M -rwxr-xr-x 1 jp jp 28M 2011-12-26 14:22 Floola* drwxr-xr-x 2 jp jp 480 2012-02-11 23:34 Floola Libs/ -rw-rw-rw- 1 jp jp 779 2007-08-02 15:59 Readme.txt

You just need to run it from the directory:

./Floola
