configure: error:  *** Unable to find Guichan library (guichan.sf.net)
Downloaded the source code, extracted it and ran ./configure ... I am a bit lost with linux in the moment, so the more detail the easier way I can find it.
What?

Well before you can compile TMW, you'll need to compile and install Guichan, which is a user interface library. There are more dependencies like this that you may or may not already have (like SDL, SDL_mixer, SDL_image, PhysFS and libxml2). http://guichan.sf.net/ is the website of the Guichan library.

Just running ./configure doesn't install Guichan -- its only sets up makefiles etc. so you can compile it nicely on your system. To build guichan, you will need to run (after doing ./configure):
make

Then (as root):
make install

This is the standard source build procedure used in most source packages (including TMW). Alternatively, if there is a package available for your gnu/linux distro, download and use that package (which would possibly be cleaner).
