Haven't seen that, exactly. Each configure script is supplied with 
the sources, so it's quite odd if different sources give the same
error. What shell are you using? Does this work?

	sh ./configure --help

That should give a list of options. Usually, ``sh ./configure'', or
``./configure'' (if you're using a Bourne compatable shell) is all you
need, but there will occasionally be mandatory options. Check the
INSTALL document.
