There might be some spurious leftover in the source directory from before
you went through your system making sure everything points in the right
place.  Try deleting the source directory, and working from a freshly
untarred tarball.

There might be a file in the tarball that shouldn't be there.  If you have
autoconf, automake and libtool up to date, you can do a 
"make maintainer-clean", and then use autogen.sh as you would configure.

Hopefully one of those two will work.  If you're still having problems,
post the exact error you're getting here.  That might give someone a
better idea of what's going on.
