You are probably trying to run autogen.sh or configure from a gnome
terminal.  Sometimes, fd's get messed up and configure just stops working.
Try quitting your terminal and trying again.  If that doesn't work, try
running autogen on a standard console instead of under X.  That will
usually do the trick.  I haven't been able to track down this bug, but I
think it has something to do with gnome terminal not handling child
processes right.
