all my unix downloads are screwed

[csajovic]

I Have been trying to configure and Apache server with PHP for a couple days with no luck. everytime I run

./configure --prefix=/www

it tells me

./configure: command not found

when I look at the configure script using more the script looks all screwed up:

[localhost:nix/apache-640/apache] root# more configure
