[Fontconfig] How to find/make the ./configure executable

[Tim Albu]

Dear Fontconfig Representative,

I am trying to solve a build problem, I describe it at
http://theitdepartment.wordpress.com/2009/03/15/centos-qt-fcfreetypequeryface/
-- please see the messages 6, 7 by Newqtcoder.

How could I install fontconfig-2.6.0 or fontconfig-2.4.2 on my Red-Hat
RHEL5? When I look over the Internet people always say about running
./configure, which apparently I can't make.

Best regards,
Tim
