It's usually a good idea to use "" around
variables being test-ed : if the variable
is empty,
  if test $x = yes

is invalid syntax

$ x=''
$ if test $x = yes ; then echo yes ; fi
test: =: unary operator expected

But
   if test "$x" = yes

should always be safe.

(In a later mail you say autoconf runs but
 you get errors when running the configure script
)


Have you tried running

 sh -x ./configure ...

which will echo each command as it runs.

Will give loads of output, but might show something odd
happening.
