Can't compile from source on Fedora 8

Evening Folks.

This is my first post of probably many more on Xfce forums. Before I can embark on the Xfce journey I need to get it installed. I have Fedora 8 x64 and I know there is a precompiled package in the repositories but every time I install Xfce there are package management and sound problems.

So instead of the repo package I thought I would compile from source. The instructions on the Xfce say to unpack the tarball and execute:

./configure && make && make install

This results in the following response:

./configure: No such file or directory

I can't find anyone on the net with the same problem. I know I can't see any configure file or makefile in the unpacked tarball, so what do I do to get this thing installed form source in F8? Here is a copy from ls in the src directory:

[root@localhost src]# ls

Hope someone can help with this. Please note, with the repo problems I've had compiling from source is my safest option at the moment.

Thank you everybody.

Re: Can't compile from source on Fedora 8

Have you unpacked also the applications packages? (ie: all tar.bz2 packages in the src dir)
