Please, please, please, try to think back to when you were new to something (as
I am to things GNUish). There is so much to read and learn. I have never used
Unix, configure scripts, etc.
I now have the source code but I find that I don't have everything I need to
continue (e.g. sed, awk and others are mentioned in the readme). Not an
insurmountable problem.
But there is the small problem (actually a big problem to me) of how the
hard-wired path got into the executable. It isn't in the source, as far as I can
see. Presumably if I follow the instructions a different path will be hard-wired
in, albeit one that is on my computer.
Perhaps you would be kind enough to provide a pointer as to where/how it got in.
I guess it's something to do with the configure script.
