Si Veteran Posted June 6, 2006 Veteran Share Posted June 6, 2006 Is the 'configure' file definitely in that directory? the ./ is telling your machine to execute the script contained in that file in the current directory. Use an ls to find out :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miuku. Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 What distro and.. why are you compiling it when there's most likely a binary version available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chavo Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 Cvs checkouts use autogen.sh to generate the configure script, and the it will run configure. So if you run ./autogen.sh it will make and run configure for you, this will install to /usr/local by default. One other thing to remember is that in a default Ubuntu install there are no development libraries or headers installed. But it's real easy to get the ones you need for an app that's on the system. Just run -> sudo apt-get build-dep xchat , that will install all the development files you need to build xchat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ViperSnake Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 In your menu.lst, take the postion of the Windows entry (for example, the 4th entry), minus 1 off the number, and change the number next to "default=" from 0 to this number: Real Postion - Grub Postion 1st-0 2nd-1 3rd-2 4th-3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted June 7, 2006 Author Share Posted June 7, 2006 thanks :) I take it the menu.lst will be somewhere with the Ubuntu install? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mouldy Punk Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 It will be in the /boot/grub directory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
