I’m running openSuSE 12.1 in a virtualbox and am trying to install pure-ftpd. I can get as far as ./configure with no errors. For some reason I cannot <make> or <make install>. I get error messages that these commands are not found. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Mike

pure-ftp is available from the standard repositories you simply can
install it with yast or zypper.
Any special reason you want to compile it yourself?
If you want to compile it install the base development pattern


sudo zypper in -t pattern devel_basis

at least.

You should tell “I got …”, you should show them. Copy/paste them from your terminal emulator into the post between CODE tags: http://forums.opensuse.org/english/information-new-users/advanced-how-faq-read-only/451526-posting-code-tags-guide.html

And of course why dio you not simply install it? Either using zypper (see Martin above), or, when you prefer the GUI above the CLI, with YaST > Software > Software management and then type *pureftp *in the search field, Search, Click for install and … About 1 minute and done.

Well, the message is obvious, those commands can not be found, so you have to install them if
you do want to use them.

Besides that, why don’t you simply install pure-ftpd, any reason why you don’t?

Thanks for your help. Problem solved.

Comment - pure-ftp is one of the FTP apps supported by YAST.

This means that once you have the app installed (using the openSUSE repo packages), you should then see an FTP applet in YAST which will perform simple, common configurations.
