It looks for the file src/lisp.h.  Do you have it?  If not, something
went wrong during unpacking.

If the file src/lisp.h does exist, try this command instead:

   /path/to/emacs-dir/configure --srcdir=/path/to/emacs-dir

where /path/to/emacs-dir is the absolute file name of the directory
created by unpacking the Emacs distribution.

If that doesn't work either, post here the contents of the file
config.log.
