Trying to configure

[Bill Will]

when I run: ../configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib64 --with-
browser-plugins-dir=/usr/lib64/browser-plugins

I get:

[root@localhost build]# ../configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib64
--with-browser-plugins-dir=/usr/lib64/browser-plugins

Where does it want me to run "make distclean"? where is There?
since this tar.bz2 file was put in Downloads, I assume that is where
it is suppose to be when I ./configure ?

It means configure was already run inside the toplevel src directory, so that it cannot do off-the-tree build anymore.
