I am trying to automate a program installation on a linux box (actually a cutom install when I add a new user)... and I want to issue the "./configure" "make" "make install" from within a script. I can do it fine from the command line. From my perl script, system ("/directory/configure" works, but then system ("/directory/make" does not and so on. I tried to system ("cd /directory" before running them, no luck. Can I put them into a single command or "call" a shell script from the "/directory", or something???
