You didn't save the output from configure, so that you could go back and figure out what went wrong after the fact: ./configure ... 2>&1 | tee configure.log You didn't tell us what it does look like, e.g. is it running in its own X11 window or is it running in in the xterm (or other terminal emulator window) in which you invoked it?
