ok, i got it configuring, then about 3 or 4 minutes later i get a message

updating cache ./config.status
./configure: /bin/sh: not found

now, i tryed to make a directory bin with sh in it, but there was already a
file there called bin (no extension) and i couldn't make the directory.  I
opened the file up in notepad, and it was the symbolic link that i made
earlier.  what do i do now?
