Help Me Get ZNES Working :)

[qzak]

Wondered if you might help a total noob get ZNES working for YDL 5.0? I have Roms, and I have the tar.gz file for ZNES. I put these into a directory on the desktop called "ZNES."

I am Linux "advanced" in that I can run the linux console, but I can't get this to install - just tells me file not found or some such. I even changed to my desktop\znes directory I had created and it still couldn't find it. I tried both normal and as a superuser.

Here's what I found for install directions (that I can't get to work).


As an ordinary user:
tar jxf zsnes151.tar.bz2
cd zsnes_1_51/src
./configure --enable-release --prefix=~/bin
make
make install
~/bin/zsnes


As root (requires root access):
tar jxf zsnes151.tar.bz2
cd zsnes_1_51/src
./configure --enable-release
make
make install
zsnes

If you recieve the error "configure: error: expected an absolute directory name for --prefix: ~/bin" while compiling, you must replace ~ with the path to your home directory.

Thanks a bunch if you can help me.

you do not have WRITE permissions to /bin as a normal user.

run make install with 'sudo' or as ROOT.......or just follow the instructions and install the APP in your HOME DIRECOTRY
