Trying out Puppy 1.0.5 in order to do the typical:
./configure
make
make install
frankly because I've never done it before. The package I tried was xscreensaver, which I downloaded from here:
http://www.jwz.org/xscreensaver/xscreen ... .22.tar.gz
Running configure produced this rather snarky error message:
I'm not a coder (can barely write the famous Hello.c ), so can't really talk tech with you guys. I just know that 1.0.5 is still in alpha, so maybe this error message will be helpful for development. If not, moderator, please close thread.Your system doesn't have "bc", which has been a standard part of Unix since the 1970s. Come back when your vendor has grown a clue.
If this IS meaningful to anyone, I can send the configure and the config.log upon request. Happy to test any suggested solutions.

PS Puppy 1.0.4 with bladehunter's opttools.sfs loopmounted produced the same error.
