Hey folks, it's the dumb newbie again.
I finally managed to get my copy of Circle up and running locally! Hooray!
Seems that all I needed to do was "bash ./configure" instead of "sh ./configure." Boy, do I feel stupid.
Anyhow, now I'm going to learn all the difficult ins and outs of administrating a MUD . . . if anyone has any new advice
(aside from "read the FAQs/archives," which I've done), I'd welcome it.
Now I just have to get a Unix book so I can figure out how to shut it all down!
Cheers,
Jess Heinig
