bash: ./configure: No such file or directory

Downloaded from github. There is not a configure file in the release. There are
some configure.ac files that say "process with autoconf to produce a configure
file." Tried this; got errors. I don't know much about such things. Asking here
before I waste more time.

I didn't understand. For Linux everything is truly (correctly, good) written.
For example my path:
/home/leonid/arch/srpms/povray-3.7.0.1/unix
In konsole:
cd /home/leonid/arch/srpms/povray-3.7.0.1/unix
..../prebuild.sh

It is a site problem
If I from a preview come back in the editor, there is one more point in my
record. I didn't notice it.

Test:
.../prebuild.sh

I don't edit:
../prebuild.sh

SMTP has a special tag (a dot on a line by itself) to signal the end of
a data block (i.e. the body of email). To avoid issue of truncating the
message (and because nntp messages could also be sent as email), some
smart*** found it simpler to "escape" the starting dot of any text by
doubling it.

The same "magic" happens if you start a line of text with From : it get
escaped, but this time by being quoted with a ">".

Of course, as it is unlikely to happen in real-life (and casual tests),
it is often unnoticed.

Just because nobody complains does not mean all parachutes are perfect.
