I downloaded a newer copy of WineX from the CVS, using WinCVS (Pesky winmodem doesn't work with Linux). I copied it to my linux partition & did a ./configure . To my surprise, an error was returned! bash: ./configure: No such file or directory I'm confused. What am I doing wrong (Yes, I'm a pathetic newbie)? Anybody have any ideas?

Anybodyhave>any ideas?Yes, since you downloaded through wincvs you didn't get the +x permission on the file, so you can't run it using "./configure". Try "chmod +x configure" first... Also you might have screwed up line-endings but that would break all and every file and I don't think WinCVS is that stupid unless you explicitely told it to change the files. /Bjorn
