I would type "sh configure" if you are running from a DOS prompt as
opposed to a unix shell. Otherwise, Windows is likely to try and execute
configure as a batch file. Which it isn't... Or it may be executing
'configure.cmd', which is ancient, unmaintained historical cruft...
Assuming that it's running sh.exe on the right file, here's the block of
code in configure that threw up the message:
#### Guess the directory in which configure is located.
ac_prog=$0
srcdir=`echo $ac_prog|sed 's%/[^/][^/]*$%%'`
srcdir=`echo "${srcdir}" | sed 's%\([^/]\)/*$%\1%'`
test "x$srcdir" = "x$ac_prog" && srcdir=.
if test ! -r ${srcdir}/chkconfig.ltx ; then
echo "configure: error: cannot find chkconfig.ltx script"
exit 1
fi
If you modify that block of code to print out some diagnostics, so:
(I've added a bunch of print (echo) statements):
ac_prog=$0
srcdir=`echo $ac_prog|sed 's%/[^/][^/]*$%%'`
echo "SRCDIR $srcdir"
srcdir=`echo "${srcdir}" | sed 's%\([^/]\)/*$%\1%'`
echo "SRCDIR $srcdir"
test "x$srcdir" = "x$ac_prog" && srcdir=.
echo "SRCDIR $srcdir"
if test ! -r ${srcdir}/chkconfig.ltx ; then
echo "configure: error: cannot find chkconfig.ltx script"
exit 1
fi
exit 1
Then here, running "sh configure" I get:
SRCDIR configure
SRCDIR configure
SRCDIR .
which means that the "if test ... " line becomes:
if test ! -r ./chkconfig.ltx ; then
translating into English:
if the file "./chkconfig.ltx" isn't readable, then...
SO, does chkconfig.ltx exist and do you have read permission to open it up?
