I've been trying to install libcurl from the git source. However when I cd into the repository and run ./configure I keep getting this error:
[*****@****** bagder-curl-f0d611d]$ ./configure
-bash: ./configure: No such file or directory
I did some googling. I'm at work and I'm not a system administrator, does that have anything to do with it? I'd rather not talk to our system administrator about this, as he is a rather unpleasant person who is typically not inclined to help.
There does seem to be a configure file:
$ls
acinclude.m4 CMakeLists.txt GIT-INFO MacOSX-Framework mkinstalldirs tests
Android.mk configure.ac include Makefile packages TODO-RELEASE
buildconf COPYING install-sh Makefile.am perl vc6curl.dsw
buildconf.bat CTestConfig.cmake lib Makefile.dist README winbuild
CHANGES curl-config.in libcurl.pc.in Makefile.msvc.names RELEASE-NOTES
CHANGES.0 curl-style.el log2changes.pl maketgz sample.emacs
CMake docs m4 missing src
Your permissions here don't matter, the reason you are getting that error is that it can't find the configure file.
In this case curl includes a buildconf file to prepare this for you. I successfully compiled it by doing the following steps.
First I make sure I have everything I need to build curl:
sudo apt-get build-dep curl
And then I run the following commands to build it:
buildconf
./configure
make
sudo make install
This will put the library in /usr/local/
