I am trying to install gnash on debian. I did (as root):

git clone git://git.sv.gnu.org/gnash.git
cd gnash/
./configure

And got:

bash: ./configure: No such file or directory

    This has nothing to do with Git and nothing direct to do with Linux: the repository (I cloned it to see) comes without the `configure` file. It has instead `configure.ac`, which is an autoconf input file. For instructions on using it, see the separate `README.git` file, which tells you what else you need install first (if you haven't yet) and then run in order to build the `./configure` file that you use to build gnash. (I'll delete the [tag:git] tag but I'm not sure what tags are actually appropriate for this question.) – torek Mar 03 '18 at 15:56
  • Aha: the tag is [tag:gnash] (of course!) – torek Mar 03 '18 at 16:05
  • This was helpful. Thank you @torek. – gatorreina Mar 03 '18 at 16:05
  • @gatorreina Any particular reason you're not just installing it from the repos? – Biffen Mar 03 '18 at 16:15
  • Did you try 'file configure'? If the file exists, check '+x' attribute. – Alex Yu Mar 03 '18 at 16:17
  • yes because apt-get install gnash resulted in E: Package 'gnash' has no installation candidate – gatorreina Mar 03 '18 at 16:18
  • @gatorreina Well, [it’s definitely there](https://packages.debian.org/search?searchon=all&suite=all&section=all&keywords=gnash). It’s probably a better idea to get it working through the repos (an `apt update` might be enough to fix it). – Biffen Mar 03 '18 at 18:39
