I downloaded fontconfig 2.8.0 as part of a chain of downloads trying to fix another issue.
I went into the directory and the INSTALL file said to run:
./configure --sysconfdir=/etc --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man
Perfectly fine, done that a thousand times. Except:
-bash: ./configure: No such file or directory
So where do I go from here? Never come across this one...
