Re: ncsa_auth module Still!

OK, sorry to be a nuisance but these are my latest attempts at this, the
squid5 directory is the root directory of the extracted files and have tried
giving the configure as a complete path from the root directory.

# ./configure --prefix=/etc/squid/Authentication/squid5
bash: ./configure: No such file or directory

and.......

# sh ./configure --prefix=/etc/squid/Authentication/squid5
: command not found
: command not found
: command not found
: command not found
: command not found
'/configure: line 129: syntax error near unexpected token `do
'/configure: line 129: `do

This seems to be the part of the configure file that causes the final fail from
around line 129:

# Initialize some other variables.
subdirs=
MFLAGS= MAKEFLAGS=
# Maximum number of lines to put in a shell here document.
ac_max_here_lines=12

ac_prev=
for ac_option
do

  # If the previous option needs an argument, assign it.
  if test -n "$ac_prev"; then
    eval "$ac_prev=\$ac_option"
    ac_prev=
    continue
  fi

  case "$ac_option" in
  -*=*) ac_optarg=`echo "$ac_option" | sed 's/[-_a-zA-Z0-9]*=//'` ;;
  *) ac_optarg= ;;
  esac
