Please don't top post.
Then test out the compound command with:
for package in $(grep -v '^#' ../proto-7.7.md5 | awk '{print $2}')
do
packagedir=${package%.tar.bz2}
echo $packagedir $package
#tar -xf $package
#pushd $packagedir
#./configure $XORG_CONFIG
#$AS_ROOT make install
#popd
#rm -r $packagedir
done
Work through it line by line to see where the problem is.
