When trying to install I get following error:

checking build system type... ./config.guess: unable to 
guess system type

What's going on? System info (I get it from the /proc):
Linux version 2.4.18-8.2mdk 
(qateam@updates.mandrakesoft.com) (gcc version 2.96 
20000731 (Linux-Mandrake 8.0 2.96-0.49.1mdk)) #1 Tue Jun

I'm not a Linux expert... I used a windows version before, 
but now I have to use the unix one... PLease, help. 

P.S. I have downloaded the newest config.guess. 

P.S. 2 - It's a SSH account on ISP server... maybe to 
install httrack I need a root acces? 

Thx for any help in advance
