Description Dick Narveson 2000-11-10 10:16:03 MST

I tried the web and the ftp downloads. This is a new install of sudo, so it
certainly could be operator error. After procurring the file
sudo-1.6.3p5.tar.gz, I ran the following pipe as recommended:

gunzip -c sudo-1.6.3p5.tar.gz | tar vxf -

The unzip and untar processes created a sudo directory at my current pwd, and
deposited the following files and links:
root@ldcdss1: /tmp/sudo/sudo-1.6.3p5 # ll

The installation guide says to cd to the source or build directory and type
./configure, but there is no configure script in the file list created.

The files created look like the source material for an install, but without any
configure script to read them and build the sudo product.

It looks like you grabbed a binary distribution.  You don't need to run configure for that, just "make install".
