[KLUG Members] Problems with compiling package

Hey guys,


     First off, thanks again for a very inviting and fun first meeting.
I will certainly be back as evening availability allows.

     Andrew, as requested, here is the package I am trying to compile:

http://games.flowix.com/files/einstein/einstein-2.0-src.tar.gz

     I tried the ./configure command, to which it stated that no file or
directory "configure" exists.  I did check and gcc is installed on my
system, as is sudo, however it tells me that my username is "not in the
sudoers file. This incident will be reported."(?)

     The README is also a bit confusing, as it directs me to "edit the
Makefile," for which two lines into the Makefile, it says "do not modify
rest of this file."

     I did notice that some of my errors said it couldn't find SDL
installed, so I did have luck installing the source code for that using
the exact instructions I learned tonight.  Any further ideas?  Thanks,
guys.  Once again, glad to meet you tonight and I look forward to
catching you guys again.


Nate
