I'm trying to install gnuplot 5.3 from github. I'm running
aclocal
autoheader
autoconf
automake
inside the package location.
This gives an error because automake is looking for Makefile.in and I have a bunch of Makefile.am files, supposedly automake should change the .am files to .in but that clearly doesn't happen. Can't run ./configure after becuase of the same reason, how do I get the .am files to change to .in?
I was trying to install a program in home and it screwed up my \home directory. All my files were backed up but now I can't use any file manager to organize everything again. Also I don't know if I messed something up and would like to know how to proceed without damaging even more my computer. The files were moved to a folder called backupdir-8866.
Update: My computer froze and a had to force shut down, now I can't log in, I enter my password and it sends me back to the log in screen. I need urgent help.
Update: I entered in recovery mode, i used ls /home and it is empty, before i forced shut down there was the folder i mentioned with all my files, i am not sure what to do.
Update: In shell prompt I ran locate username and it returned /home/username, but ls /home returns nothing.
