Hi there

I doubt that that statement and I believe it to be incorrect. Methinks you may not be able to install the kernel needed, maybe?

Please, run the configure script as first...

You will need to install a compiler such as gcc. There should be an rpm on one of the install cds try installing that then redo ./configure
