    Question Help installing Burg from source (stumped)

    I am following instructions from http://code.google.com/p/burg/wiki/ManualInstall

    i've gotten to the point where it says
    Code:
    $HOME/burg/configure --with-platform=pc --prefix=$HOME/burg_install
    which returns
    Code:
    bash: /home/wyzegye/burg/configure: No such file or directory
    I hate installing from source for this exact reason, something always goes wrong. and i'm left scratching my head. But I really want this boot loader.

    can somebody help me? I'm new to fedora (from Ubuntu, there was a bug with my wireless card) and i'd like to have a positive experience with this distro in my first 24 hours.

    You did the bzr checkout into your home directory right? Otherwise that path to configure would be wrong

    Re: Help installing Burg from source (stumped)

    I checked out that bzr code and it works here...
    > bzr branch lp:burg
    > $HOME/burg/configure --with-platform=pc --prefix=$HOME/burg_install

    checking build system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
    checking host system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
    checking target system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
    checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
    checking whether build environment is sane... yes
    checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... /bin/mkdir -p
    checking for gawk... gawk
    checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
    checking for cmp... cmp
    Forget running the actual configure script for now, can you confirm that you see the configure file?:
    ls -l $HOME/burg/configure
    that should show the file info (date, size and so on)

    ls: cannot access /home/wyzegye/burg/configure: No such file or directory

    Try


    Code:
    cd  /home/wyzegye/burg/
    ./autogen.sh
    ./configure
    make
    su
    make install

    Re: Help installing Burg from source (stumped)

    Well, for some reason your baazar checkout was incomplete or much more likely

    you didn't run ./autogen.sh

    I noticed that configure isn't in the checkout, it gets created by the autogen.sh script so I bet you missed the step
    where you run autogen.sh
