help with compiling VNC

I'm trying to compile and install tightVNC on my linux box so I can use the viewer to control my windows desktop.

I got to this point and hit a wall:

Code: Select all
eldonkr@Mobile-Terminal:~/Downloads/tarballs$ cd vnc_unixsrc
eldonkr@Mobile-Terminal:~/Downloads/tarballs/vnc_unixsrc$ ./configure
bash: ./configure: No such file or directory


as I understand it according to here: http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/softinstall.html

that's what I'm supposed to do and it's supposed to create the makefile.

I was compiling LMMS the other day and when I tried to type ./configure then it told me that ./configure was deprecated and that I should use DCMAKE.

typing in -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX= usr/local worked when I was compiling LMMS

but when I tried doing that with tightvnc nothing happened at all.

Now what do I do? What am I doing wrong?
