These errors result from bash's problem with cat, you get this kind of
error if you type:
$ cat << FOO
$ text....
$ bla
$ FOO
And configure uses /bin/sh. It could be you linked this to your bash ?
You will solve this using the real "sh" not "bash" and saying
$ sh ./configure
Hope this help... Stefan.
