    Hi _Everybody_,
       I'm new to Linux, and I have Red Hat Linux 6.2. I'm trying to run the Sphinx code for the research project/exploration I'm part of, and I seem to have some trouble with the code. I have read the Install note, and explored the entire Sphinx sources for additional docs, but my problem is that when I try to run configure file from command line by typing in ./configure (as the Install note said), my bash shell tells me that ./configure isn't found because it is not a file or directory. What puzzles me is that the Install note explicitly said to do this, and when I run c++ programs on G++ using something like ./my_prog, it works. Anyone know what I'm missing or doing wrong? Thanks a lot.

      Sounds like the bang path

      #!/this/path

      at the top of ./configure is not found.  Try grabbing the distribution from CVS and running

      sh autogen.sh

      If that builds a configure for you, it should work on your system :)
