As said in the install file i have move to the folder where the

Am getting this
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/personal/gift-0.1.11$ cd gift-0.1.11
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/personal/gift-0.1.11/gift-0.1.11$ ./configure
bash: ./configure: /bin/sh^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
but the file configure do exists in the folder.
Yes. Your bash shell is complaining that the interpreter specified on
the shebang (#!) line at the start of ./configure can't be found. It
should be looking for /bin/sh - the standard *nix shell which should
exist on every linux and UNIX system.
My guess would be that /bin/sh *does* exist on your system, and it is
the trailing ^M above that is the problem. That's a carriage return
character (CR), which should not be there - *nix uses a single
line-feed character as the end of line (LF), where as DOS-like systems
use CR-LF. Still, I've never noticed this cause a problem with running
scripts before. Did you do any of the file transfer and/or unpacking
on a Windows box?
Also, why are you installing 0.1.11 instead of the most recent release
(0.1.14)?

David
