It's almost impossible to install and configure ht://Dig without having
shell access to the system on which you want to run it, whether through
ssh or telnet.

I don't know why you're putting in the "exec" command.  There's no mention
of it in the documentation that I can recall, and you shouldn't be putting
that in front of the commands you run if you're using a standard UNIX/Linux
shell.  In the documentation, the "%" before a command would be the shell
prompt, which varies from system to system.  You don't type that part.
The "./" in front of commands like configure are to tell the shell you
want to run the command script that's in the current directory, rather
than searching through the directories in $PATH for the command.

I would recommend that you spend some time getting familiar with the shell
in UNIX or Linux before you attempt anything as elaborate as compiling and
installing a software package.  This isn't exactly a beginner's job.
