This is commonly caused by the execute bit not being set on the
item you are running.  In this case  "./configure".  An "ls -l ./configure"
should verify this.

You have 2 choices:
1.  chmod +x ./configure
     Makes ./configure executable 
2.  bash ./configure
     Tells bash to read this file and interpret it as a script.
