[Digikam-users] newbie problem

[Errol Sapir]

I tried to install the latest beta version from a tarball. I went to the 
site (quoted below), and tried to execute them.


  Installing a tarball

Installing a tarball will get you the most up-to-date stable version of 
digiKam. But it can happen that you run into all kinds of problems 
related to compiling.

So, if your distribution is running behind a lot, you can install a 
tarball. First you have to download digiKam from one of the sourceforge 
mirrors. You can do that from here 
<http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=42641&package_id=34800>

Extract the tarball via |tar -xvjf filename.bz2|, enter the extracted 
directory and then you need to issue a set of commands. The first 
command requires a parameter, which is the prefix. This will be the base 
path of the installation. If you want to install it mixed with your 
other software you can use the output of |kde-config --prefix| as a 
prefix. Else specify the installation map you like. In the following, we 
assume the /usr prefix.

Set of commands to build the tarball:
|
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
su -c "make install"

When going into the extracted directory I get the following output when 
typing ./command:

errol at errol-linux:~$ cd /home/errol/digikam-1.0.0-beta3
errol at errol-linux:~/digikam-1.0.0-beta3$ ./configure
bash: ./configure: No such file or directory
 
Where am I going wrong?
