configure is the name of a script in the directory of the application you are trying to install. If you have downloaded a tarball (.tar.gz file) then uncompress it either by clicking on it in konqueror and drag/drop the folder inside to your home directory, or else in a terminal enter tar -xvzf filename Then 'cd' to the applications directory and then enter ./configure BTW what application are you trying to install? The chances are that there is already an RPM package for that application either already on your CDs or easily downloadable. For a newbie RPMs are *lots* easier to install than tarballs.
