Normally would do ./configure i586-pc-linux-gnu or something similar.
However, the most probable cause for your problems is that your compile is
not installed (or not properly installed).

Problem with "./configure" - revised

2000-05-02 Thread Sevatio Octavio

I'm trying to run "./configure" for installing Gimp.  It keeps stopping with an error 
that says: "checking host system type...
configure: error: cannot guess host type: you must specify one".

Where would you specify such the host system type and what do you fix so this won't 
happen again?
