Any body is learning the Unix Network Programing Vol 1?

How to run the examples?

I changes the property of configure to executable. But when I type
../configure
It said
../configure: Command not found
I have tried this on IBM unix, Linux, Sun, I got the same thing.

Any help?
Thanks a lot.

The ./ part means 'in the current working directory'
configure is a file that often comes with source code, and adapts the
details of the software to be compiled to the details of your system
(where to find libraries etc.)

Make sure that your current working directory is where you have put the
software you are trying to build.

Thanks.
The directory should be all right.

Maybe the configure script is corrupted, and is trying to run a command
that isn't in your path?

Yes, I guess so.

The error was that the configure command itself isn't found. Maybe it's
permissions do not include executable by the current user?

I used chmod a+x configure. Anyone should be able to excute it.

How about showing us the output of:

ls -l configure
head -1 configure
echo $PATH

Do "/bin/ls -l ./configure" and verify that it is in fact
executable. The permission string should look something like
"-rwxr-xr-x".

The configure program should be a shell script. Take a look at
it with a text editor, and note the first line, which might look
something like this:

#!/bin/sh

If the command in that first line is not executable, you will
get an error message. Is possible that the script has a
different path or a different shell than whatever your system
has?

As a last resort... lets follow a logical approach and
narrow down what is and what is not working. Do this:

$ mv ./configure ./configure.orig
$ echo "echo \"This is my configure.\"" > ./configure
$ chmod 755 ./configure
$ ./configure

That should result in "This is my configure." being output to the
screen. If so, do "mv configure.orig configure" to restore the
original. If not, find out why. (Post your results here and
we'll think of ways to figure out what is going on.)

Appreciate the help from all your guys!

I think the scsript is not correct, although I got it from the offical
webpage.
The first line of the script is #! /bin/sh

So, I use the command
/bin/sh configure

Here is the output
: command not found
configure: line 21: syntax error near unexpected token 'elif'
configure: line 21: 'elif test -n "${BASH_VERSION+set}" && (set -o posix)
>/dev/
'ull 2>&1;then

By the way, the source code is here
