sorry didn't mean to reply directly, must stop doing that :S ---------- Forwarded message ----------
Thanks for the reply Chris, helps so much to have someone on the end of a plea for help! That said, ./configure-guess returns "command not found" so I'm guessing I need to install some util of some sort? I've tried searching but am coming up short. I also tried ./config.guess along with other similar attempts but to no avail. Could you give me another nudge in the right direction please?
