Quite obviously, all worked /not/ well. You might want to double-check 
the output messages - I guess they do report /some/ error or warning. At 
any rate you don't seem to be reporting the exact symptoms, as 
"config.status" doesn't come into play until the "./configure" step.

What version of POV-Ray 3.7 are you trying to build?

3.7.0 stable release, for instance, is known to not configure properly 
with new versions of automake, causing secondary error messages similar 
to the one you're reporting.
