[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Sir:

I download a tarball from:

http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/parted/

I untar it – it seems to untar correctly

The instructions say to ./configure and make (from the man page)

1.5 Building GNU Parted
If you want to compile GNU Parted, this is generally done with:
$ ./configure
$ make

When I type in make I observe the following:
There seems to be no Makefile in this directory
You must run ./configure before running ‘make’
Make: *** [abort-due-to-no-makefile] Error 1

The is _no_ makefile in the directory

My question is how do I build it?

Many Thanks,

Eric Price.

As with virtually all open source software, the configure script
creates the Makefile.
