NEWBIE: configure problems

From: Jess Heinig (jessh@white-wolf.com)

  Unfortunately, trying to run ".\configure" just gives me "configure: command
not found." I'm also using Win 98, but I tried your "configure | sh" and
"autorun | sh &" fixes and neither worked, I'm sad to say (with "configure:
command not found" and "autorun: command not found," followed by "[1] 1673
[1]+ Done autorun | sh," whatever that means).
  If you can by any chance remember what you did to get it to work, I'd be
much obliged. It beats spending $600 for a Microsoft C++ compiler . . .

Thanks again,
Jess Heinig
