Having problems - I have installed the prequisites, and unzipped the 
source package for ruby-1.9.1-p243, and I'm . I've installed from source 
before, but not ruby 1.9. I cannot get beyond this:

> ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --with-openssl-dir=/usr

> sudo: ./configure: command not found
I really don't understand enough what I'm doing to see the problem.

Can someone help me?

Tks,

Tom
