<div> SYNOPSIS:</div>
<div>The ACE.tar.gz file downloaded from <a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://download.dre.vanderbilt.edu/" target="_blank">http://download.dre.vanderbilt.edu/</a> lacks the configure file and and other files, which exists in the
ACE.tar.bz2 file from same site. <br> </div>
<div> </div>
<div> DESCRIPTION:<br>The 2 tar files above are different. One thing that is affected is the configure with autoconf, which can not be run according to instructions. ( create a build directory and run the configure script ) . One needs to create the configure script first from the
<a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://configure.ac/" target="_blank">configure.ac</a> file . </div>
<div>It is working fine with the ACE.tar.bz2 file.</div>
<div>Please see comparison below for other differences between the ACE.tar.gz file and the ACE.tar.bz2 file.</div>
