However, I suspect that basket has now switched to using cmake. There should be a file in the directory you made that is named INSTALL or README. Have a look in those and there should be instructions on how to compile using cmake. I'll have to update this article, as most of the KDE projects have switched to cmake.

Next, I uncompressed the file, changed into basket-1.81, and typed in the following command: $ ./configure The response was: bash: ./configure: No such file or directory I assume that the file that is responsible for configuring is missing. Thanks for your assistance Hi,

Once you've downloaded it, you need to uncompress the tarball using the tar command, and then cd into the created directory. The configure script should be there. What is the error you are getting?

Giving/accepting commands doesn't automatically make something a CLI. Do I use a CLI when I ask my wife to make me a sandwich? Nice story but it doesn’t make sense at all!
