Problem with a tar.bz2 file
I am running ZenWalk 7.0 and have been trying without success to install gnome-games. I downloaded gnome-games-2.31.1.tar.bz2 and from the command line i navigated to the folder which contained the tar.bz2 file. I then typed: tar jxvf gnome-games.tar.bz2 and all went well. But when i then typed: ./configure gnome-games-2.31.1 the only output i got was "command unknown"? Could someone help please

The ./ part indicate that it's looking in the current directory for the command to run, rather than in usual PATH.Code:./configure
