    ./configure error message

    Okay, I'm hoping this is my last problem with linux... ever.

    On Ubuntu, when installing files using the terminal, I get this message:
    Code:
    silve@NafusLap:~/Desktop/pam_keyring-0.0.8$ sudo ./configure
    Password:

    configure: error: cannot run /bin/bash ./config.sub
    Before I had a different one, but I downloaded g++ and now have this. It seems to get farther than before, but 'make' still won't work. I have to do all my downloads from the Synaptic Package Manager now. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

    Only the last line is relevant. The distributed sources do not contain
    the needed files config.sub, config.guess. Copy the relevant files
    from the tcl-sources and everything should be fine.

    Thanks. I fixed, it, but I had to install about 20 libraries.

    What did you exactly do?
    I have the same error when compiling bioapi-linux

    I need it for the fingerprint sensor in my HP NC6320.

    most of the hardware is working fine under kubuntu-feisty exept for this...

    Thx in advance!
