Just installed Redhat 7.2. Default
installation. I am trying to install a
program called

ECLiPT Roaster

found at

http://eclipt.uni-klu.ac.at/projects/eroaster

for burning Cd's.
Now it says all you need to do to install
it is:The unzipped package requires only a
configuration and make install, placing the
executable in the path automatically.

What does configuration and make install
mean, and how do i do it. I just want to
get the program running.

Please be very descriptive, I have no
experience with Linux, I was amazed I got
it up and running.

Thanks for your help.

You have this file unzipped right? Ok, once it is unzipped cd to its directory then type

./configure

or it might be
./config

check the README in the programs directory

then type

make install

you might have to do this, esp the make install as su (super user). Type su at the command prompt and then enter the root password.

This isn't really an answer to your question but I would recoment trying Xcdroast instead.

You can check it out here
http://www.xcdroast.org/

I've used it for awhile now and works great.

To set it up get it downloaded and unpacked then go to the xcdroast directry. Once there type:

make
make install
MAKEDEVICES.sh
