Install File by running the following commands:
touch aclocal.m4 configure Makefile.in stamp-h.in && ./configure --prefix=/usr --datadir=/usr/share/misc && make && make install |
touch aclocal.m4 configure Makefile.in stamp-h.in: This command works around an error which occurs when compiling file with automake-1.5 installed by changing the modification dates of some files to the current date. Changing the date will cause make to think the files are already up-to-date so they're not recreated.
