I downloaded a wicd-1.7.4.tar.gz file and I changed directory cd Downloads
to the .tar.gz file and extracted it using tar xvzf wicd-1.7.4.tar.gz
. Thereafter, I changed directory to cd wicd-1.7.4
which is the extracted files directory. Suprisingly, when I used the command, ./configure
inside the same directory, the error I got was, bash: ./configure: No such file or directory. Please can someone tell me what is it that I am not doing right! Thanks
The output of the $ ~/Downloads/wicd-1.7.4
is
