I just fetched node with <code>wget</code> from http://nodejs.org/dist/v0.8.11/node-v0.8.11-linux-x86.tar.gz I ran <code>sudo tar -zxf node-v0.8.11-linux-x86.tar.gz</code> and then <code>cd</code>'ed into <code>node-v0.8.11-linux-x86</code>. However the <code>Configure</code> file is not there, so when I run <code>./configure</code> I get a <code>no such file or directory</code> error. What am I doing wrong?

You've downloaded a binary archive. With it, you should find <code>node</code>, <code>npm</code>, and <code>node-waf</code> already pre-compiled in the <code>bin</code> sub-directory. If you want to build from source, you'll want to instead download: http://nodejs.org/dist/v0.8.11/node-v0.8.11.tar.gz

Configure file missing for node.js v.0.8
