Ok I've decided just to try and start fresh here but running into some 
issues here.. when trying to install and doing the ./configure I get a 
bunch of no and yes for the settings.. Does this matter because the 
readme is not clear as if I need these files like the recommended options.

I have to run out so I wont be back for a few hours.
