Qt 4.8 "./Configure" fails

Downloaded Qt 4.8 beta, unzipped, changed into the folder and clicked "./configure" as required.

output: bash: ./configure: /bin/sh^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

"Configure" is definitely there in the folder.

What's wrong?

Forget it, I downloaded the “zip” file instead of the “tar.gz” file. One of the little misunderstandings caused by working exclusively under Windows for 20 years and then one day thrown to OS X/Linux waters.

Since it has an ^M character, the configure file is probably using Windows-style line endings.

Try to convert it to use UNIX-style endings:

dos2unix configure

Then it should run fine when you do

./configure

Also, the No such file directory refers to the interpreter specified in the configure file using the shebang notation, not the configure file itself. It probably can't find it because it is searching for /bin/sh^M whereas it should be searching for /bin/sh.
