[Samba] Fail to build a default Samba!

[Max Ma]

Dear Madam/Sir:

I downloaded the latest source file (version 3.0.1) and follow =
"Manifest" guide to build the binaries, but got failure.

OS: Red Hat Linux release 7.3 (Valhalla)
Kernel: 2.4.18-3 on an i686

***** Procedures I did to build:

[max at localhost source]$ ls -l configure
-rwxr-xr-x    1 max      max        973150 Feb  6 10:30 configure
[max at localhost source]$ ./configure
: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
[max at localhost source]$ source ./configure
: command not found
bash: ./configure: line 25: syntax error near unexpected token `elif'
bash: ./configure: line 25: `elif test -n "${BASH_VERSION+set}" && (set =
-o posix
' >/dev/null 2>&1; then
[max at localhost source]$

***** By the way, why I cannot run "./configure" command and have to run =
"source ./configure"?

This is my first time to post question, hope this is a correct site.

Cheers!

Max Ma
