Hello again, friends. I'm new to Linux, and I've recently made a few attempts to compile some software from source, since it was the only way I could find to get them. I tried it with Git, which worked great. But when I tried the same method with neofetch, it failed. Same story with htop. I think I'm doing it wrong, as I'm still a noob using Mint. I've included an image of my terminal, which I hope will help.
(SOLVED) Source Code Not Configuring
- Thread starter naterade
- Start date
Is there any file named "INSTALL" inside the source code? Have you read it?
On a side note, what do you mean with that you needed to compile Git? Git is part of all distributions' package manager, as far as I know.

I actually didn't. In retrospect, it seems somewhat obvious. And also, I only compiled Git as practice. Because I have had issues with installing new software, I followed a tutorial on code compilation, I followed the tutorial to a "t". I will look for an "INSTALL" file first thing tomorrow. Thanks for the help.
Interesting. I will have to try this first thing tomorrow. And I'm sure this will sound silly, so you'll have to forgive my ignorance. I don't entirely understand the difference, how do I make the distinction from codes and scripts?
Thank you! It seems that I was initially using an incorrect apt command to get the package.
Thank you again! This is a very neat tool.
