Hi!

Thanks for the reply.

I did the following:

$ chmod u+x configure 
$ ./configure --help
-bash: ./configure: /bin/sh^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

I have checked that configure is indeed there. I even tried to double click
it to run it in the terminal but I am getting the same error.

Remember that I am on a mac (Leo 10.5.2). XCode 3.1 is installed and
configured.

Thanks,
fb.
