Problems with ./configure

I am new to unix. I am trying for the first time ever to complie a program. I loaded the files via FTP to my web host. I loged in using SSH and changed the dir to the location where I put the files. I type in "./configure" and get this error:

: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

There is a file called "configure". What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Look at the top of the configure sciprt to see what the interpretur is. It will look something like

#!/bin/sh etc.

Make sure that it is pointing to a valid shell.

Cheers,

Keith
