Hi Sir/Mam,

            I installed the gcc and  other softwares wlth .tar extension. We
have to do a step by step procedure while installing the  sofware which have
.tar extension. 

             1) First, we have to unzip the file and give ./configure 
             2) Second, we have to give make
             3) Third, we logon to root and give make install.

           My question is, why we are doing the above steps sequentially and
what is actually happend at the each and every steps(configure,make,make
install). What is the objective of Configure, Make, Make Install? I request
u to give elloborate explanation, because i m new to Linux. Waiting for ur
valuable reply.


Thanks and Regards,
Karthikeyan.R
