主题: [CentOS] A quick question about ./configure

Sorry to bother, but everytime I want to compile a program (Mplayer, 
avidemux2), I have an error:

./configure
-bash: ./configure: No such file or directory

I have the development tools installed, libs, x11 libs, etc... I 
recently formated and upgrade my PC with Centos 5, (I had centos 4 before).

Did I overlook something??

Thanks for any advance

P.D: Sorry about my English

I started this tread because I never had this problem before, but I 
download these programs  (source in tar.gz), decompress it, cd to the 
directory, and run ./configure
I got the error with mplayer, so I tried on the other one, and same

 Thanks to all for your support. I allready installed mplayer from the

 CentOS 4 about a year ago, but no luck with CentOS 5.

OK, compilation successful.  After having spent so much time trying to
rebuild from available srpms, I was not going anywhere -- none of the
srpms tried worked.  Turns out the good old make; make install
strategy was the way to go.  This is what I did:

(1) Download the tar file from sourceforge: avidemux_2.4_preview2.tar.gz
(2) tar xvzf avidemux_2.4_preview2.tar.gz
(3) cd avidemux_2.4_preview2
(4) make -f Makefile.dist
   (If you get an error that says, 'AM_GNU_GETTEXT' not found, yum
install gettext-devel)
(5) make
If no error, install it as root
(6) make install
   (Default is to install into /usr/local)

Good luck,

avidemux2 is not available as an rpm for CentOS. Compiling from the

As already pointed out by two big boys... when running:

./configure
make
make install

DO NOT run the first two steps as root.  It is a known security risk.
The install step may need to be run as root depending on the install
destination.

One cause for this sort of misleading error can be
found in the first line of the configure script.  It
will normally be #!  where  is the path to 
some interpreter.  Often /bin/bash.  If the target
of that path is not found, you will get the above

Another possibility is if the execute bit is not
