Hello again, I found out on further reading that autoconf generated the configure script. Sorry about the confusion but the documentation probably needs to be a little clearer for non-unix people (of course, I was in a bit of a rush also)
However, upon running the generated configure I get this error: configure: error: cannot find install-sh or install.sh in config ./config Any ideas much appreciated.
