./configure command

**riaztheman** · 06-17-2005

Hi

Err...the ./configure command gives me a "no such file or directory" thing. Isn't it some type of special command? Not like accessing files or dir's? I dunno, maybe my linux just hates me. Help again please!

since you already downloaded and untarred the source...
you have

. .. gcc libstdc++-v3

in this directory, what you need to do next is:
cd gcc
./configure
make
make install

then do the same thing in libstdc++-v3
report here if you have any problems

are you in the gcc directory when you get the "File does not exist" error?

although is is much easier to do this as root:

Code:

apt-get install gcc

Hi
I've tried the apt get install thing before, but the console says cant download updates. I am in the gcc dir when i type ./configure. I'm lost.

show us the ls -a of the gcc directory

if you are in the gcc folder, at the command prompt, the last thing before the prompt should be gcc

I downloaded, untarred, and installed it from the GNU website to see if I was messed up and it all worked.
I followed the basic steps in each folder (gcc and libstdc++):
./configure
make
make install

if it doesn't work, or you are missing something try to download it again and try again from scratch

If you are connected to the internet and your firewall allows apt to access the internet, apt-get install gcc should work

Have you used apt-get on your installation before? If not, you need to run

Code:

apt-get update

first. If you get errors from that, post the error message and we'll try to get you up and running.

Hi guys

Well i tried the ./configure command like u said. It gives a "no such file or directory" error. I tried "apt-get update/install" but it seems my internet connection is not working properly thru Xandros. I am running Xandros on a virtual pc inside windows, so i'm kinda lost on how to work out the internet connection prob's. Anybody worked with virtual pc before? I'm sure that apt-get will work if i can just get the connection running. Any ideas? Thanks

Anyone still interested in helping me here?

show us the ls -a of the gcc directory and the libstdc++ directory

I don't know what to do about the Xandros connection problem...haven't used virtual pc
