Did you check the rules about which directory you should configure and build 
in?  Most gnu packages require you to make a new directory, in a few cases it 
must be immediately below the directory containing the configure script.   A 
few packages require you to build and configure in the that directory.  
If the configure script wants autoconf or automake, you should have installed 
those (and their dependencies) prior to running configure.
