Joshua,

I don't know what the problem with the configure file is, but this
sentence makes it sound like you just need the *executables* for these
utilities.  If all you need are working versions of the utilities, you
don't need (although you may *want*) to recompile from the source
files (which is what you downloaded, the "s" suffix is the source
archive).  All you need to do is download the binary (i.e., working,
already compiled-and-linked executables) archive, whose name is
"fil316b.zip", hopefully from the same source from which you got the
"fil316s.zip" archive.

Hope this helps.
