hi,

It seems your download is not complete or corrupted. Download QF again and extract it properly.
To run the configure you have to give execution ( x ) permission to the script.
Inside the QF folder

chmod -r 774 *


Regards,

Eranga

I am stuck on the ./configure step of the QuickFIX install instructions for Unix.

First, I downloaded the latest version for Unix, i.e. 
-rw-r--r--   1 pavery   jcdev    64727040 Nov  6 13:39 quickfix-1.12.4.tar

But when I do the un-tar, it does extract lots of stuff, but finishes with an error, i.e.
tar -xvvf quickfix-1.12.4.tar
tar: directory checksum error

Does this indicate that the entire extract from the tar file did not complete? 
I only got 359 files under doc/html and 23 under bin.

The checksum error must be the real problem because trying to run ./configure or ./bootstrap results in an error, i.e.:
./configure: Command not found
./bootstrap: Command not found

Any suggestions?

Thanks, Pat Avery
