Re: Unzipping the tar file

["Chen, Peter" <Peter.Chen@xxxxxxx>]

Thanks Tim, that worked.

 

All I got to say is WOW! I downloaded all the tarballs from their site and unzipped each of them. None of the versions from 2.4.91 to 2.6.0 contained configure.

Hi Peter,

I had the same problem some weeks ago, then someone gave me this archive which has the configure inside. Good luck!

Hello all,

 

Forgive me for my noob-ness, but I am trying to install the latest version of fontconfig. I downloaded the fontconfig.tar.gz file.

 

I unzipped it with this command gtar xvfz fontconfig.tar.gz. Then I cd to the new fontconfig dir. When I try to build it, I notice there is no configure in the directory. From the INSTALL file, I am led to believe that there should be a configure in there.

 

I'm on a sparc-solaris2.8 machine.

 

Thanks in advance!
