Did the configure and make process complete successfully? If it did not, then thats why your are probably getting that error.

I don't get it. What are you trying to say? Will you please give me the full steps to install a program using Konsole? This is what I did.
First, I dragged an uncompressed file (The file is located on Desktop) to the Konsole window. Then I typed ./configure
Here is a little preview of the message I get after I typed ./configure. I think this is what makes it wrong! Do you know how to fix it?

checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cl... no
configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
See `config.log' for more details.

I need a reply ASAP!!!!

Which distirbution of Linux are you using? You'll want to install the build-essential package with whatever package manager that distribution uses. Also, check out this thread:

The error message you are getting means that you are missing the gcc compiler. You need to install that from your Linux distributions discs or online repositories. You may also need to install other development packages depending on the dependencies of the package you are trying to install.
