Your bash shell is complaining that the interpreter specified on the shebang (#!) line at the start of ./configure can't be found. It should be looking for /bin/sh - the standard *nix shell which should exist on every linux and UNIX system.My guess would be that /bin/sh *does* exist on your system, and it is the trailing ^M above that is the problem. That's a carriage return character (CR), which should not be there - *nix uses a single line-feed character as the end of line (LF), where as DOS-like systems use CR-LF. Still, I've never noticed this cause a problem with running scripts before. Did you do any of the file transfer and/or unpacking on a Windows box?Also, why are you installing 0.1.11 instead of the most recent release (0.1.14)?Regards, David
