Hello,
So here I am trying to install a program compressed in .gz
but I can't run ./configure, it tells me:
"bash: ./configure: No such file or directory"
So if someone could help me, I would really appreciate it, thanks in advance

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.

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

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

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

There's nothing to compile, it's ready to use. Here's the content of the folder after extraction:
You just need to run it from the directory:
