I must be we-tall-did

I cant figure this out. I am installing GAIM and a few other programs.

I gunzip the file
then do tar -xvf filename
Then I CD into the directory.
I do ./configure and everything looks good

Then when i try to do a MAKE it says

No target specified and no makefile found. Stop

Now I do notice that there is a Makefile.am and a Makefile.in in the directory after I did a ./configure.

I know this is a simple answer and I HAVE searched for threads regarding this.

Any help is appreciated =]

Out if curiosity. Did you write "make" or "make all". Some programs might even need more orthodox "make <somrthing>". Usually there is the README or INSTALL file which tells the neccesery (sp?) steps.

I did a make

I read the readme and install file and they say to just do a

./configure
make
su to root
make install


Im totally confused :confused:

I can't figure it out either, to be honest. Perhaps trying ./configure again and then make, but it sounds weird.
