It's good to see someone out there cares enough to record a solution to these common but sometimes convoluted tasks in the Linux/Ubuntu community.

@Devvy996 do this instead: "sudo sh configure"

@halosparton some files dont have a ./configure, if thats the case just go to the next step, 'make'

@Devvy996 I'm having the same problem... I can't get it either.

Very Cool !!! Thank you !!!

[Devvy996]

Argh. I hate this! Every time I try to use one of these, I do ./configure and it says "bash: ./configure: No such file or directory" :c
