All three of those commands produce the same error.

Is it OK to use the git version?

git pull -v.

This time the remote connection hung up unexpectedly.  So I deleted
all files and directories, checked out head, and ran ./configure.

Does not exist.

Here I am stuck.

I am unfamiliar with these tools.  Just in case, I ran autoconf,
because INSTALL said it makes configure.  It does not recommend
bypassing configure: "CONFIGURATION BY HAND ...  This should not be
necessary and is not recommended."

Similar error.

Ran autoconf again.  No error this time.

Ran ./configure

Same error.

Of course all this last stuff is me not knowing what I am doing with
these tools, not me saying they should work.
