in reply to (OT) perlmagick cipher question

Hi,
this seems to be a bit off-topic to me, but looking at your error message, I assume that you are not in your source directory.

Usually, you
  • download an archive with source code (you seem to have done that),
  • unpack it somewhere,
  • cd into it (it should generate a subdirectory, otherwise it's probably crap) and then
  • check for the existence of a file "configure" -
  • BUT before you run it you should examine the directory content for files like README and INSTALL and
  • read them.

    Regards,
