Server Install help

Hello

I decided it was time to start teaching myself LINUX, so I have set up a Redhat box. I believe I am runnig Redhat 9.

So my first big test is to learn how to setup software on one of these, and I figured where better to begin then by setting up a server for Crossfire.

I have uncompressed all of tar(?) files and have gone about the business of beginning to follow the install instructions, but a get shammed right at the first instruction. I figure I will let it set up in the default directory and learn how to play with directory structures later, so I simply let the configure file "run in terminal" It runs quickly and generates an log. The crux of the problem appears to be this error:

configure

error: cannot find install-sh or install.sh in utils /home/mtn/crossfire server files/crossfire-1.5.0/utils

However, when I look in the utils folder, I can see install-sh sitting right there.

I appreciate any insight you may have to offer, and I am sad to say I'll probably be back here asking more questions as I learn how to do this.

Thank you ahead of time.

Mike

I suggest you remove spaces in directory name. I don't guarantee that'll fix your issue, but it's worth a try.

First Linux hint: _many_ Linux programs don't like spaces in directory/file names

...I knew that.

Thank you much. Somewhere along the lines I fell into bad habbits. I suppose this will be my education to refind the good ones. I will try removing the spaces when I get home when I get home.

Thanx.

It all worked out. Now I just have to figure out how to set up windows clients and I'll be all good. It's off to search through the forums. Thanx again.
