[Linux] config.status

I was following the guide here and i have run into a few problems.
i did everything up to ./configure and everything else is fine... but when i run ./configure i get:

Code:

---

configure: creating ./config.status
.infig.status: error: cannot find input file:

---

i am assuming its in this portion of ./configure that i would define a file to input, but i have no idea what i would put in.

Code:

---

if test "$no_create" != yes; then
  ac_cs_success=:
  ac_config_status_args=
  test "$silent" = yes &&
    ac_config_status_args="$ac_config_status_args --quiet"
  exec 5>/dev/null
  $SHELL $CONFIG_STATUS $ac_config_status_args || ac_cs_success=false
  exec 5>>config.log
  # Use ||, not &&, to avoid exiting from the if with $? = 1, which
  # would make configure fail if this is the last instruction.
  $ac_cs_success || { (exit 1); exit 1; }
fi

---

does anyone know what file needs to be directed into./config.status or if theres something i may have missed?

thanks in advance
