At first I’d like to say that I’m completely new in Linux so i got only veeeeery little knowledge about the terminal…
My problem now is, like the title says it, the ./configure command…
I don’t know how to do this…
I went to Google and searched for ages about how install .tar.gz files, but alway I have to compile with the make command but that doesen’t work without the ./configure…
I read something about the Build Essentials… but i don’t know how to find or to install them…
can someone playse help me?
please if you have to know something ask me
I’m using OpenSuSe 11.2
P.S. If I’m doing something wrong… please correct me
At the moment I’m trying to compile PlayOnLinux… but i got the same problem with other packages…
I’ve already unpacked it and now got all the files…
In every explanation it says that I have to “cd” to the directory and run ./configure…
Yes, are you right, but better install PlayOnLinux from the openSUSE
repositories intead of compile it yourself, try to become friend of the
command zypper

Exactly what message do you get when you enter ./configure?
Hi
Short of looking at the source, is there a readme file. As an aside, I
see there is a version on packman so I strongly recommend using
that version.

Are you sure you are in the right directory? The prompt always tells you where you are at. There should be a readme file that tells you the procedure to install for that package.

If the package needs to use configure, it will be there unless the
installation process has been totally borked. I seldom build from
scratch as either the openSUSE or Packman repositories have most of what
I need. If configure is not there, check for Makefile (Note case - it is
important.). If it is present, you should only need to enter ‘make’.
can you uncompress the file, cd to the directory and post the output of ls?

Remember:
1- uncompress (tar xvfz wget-1.12.tar.gz)
2- change directory (cd wget-1.12)
3- run config (./configure)
if all ok
4- run make (make)
else
search for the problem
