This is usually indicative of the package not being ported to the  
architecture it's being built on.  The work involved to port it might  
be easy, but it might not be.  The configure script basically tried  
to guess what your system is to see if it knows how to set everything  
up for it, and your system didn't match anything it knows about.  You  
may be able to fool it by specifying another system and hope  
everything works (and the configure script itself would have this  
option, so i'd look inside of it and see if you can find it); if  
you're good with a C / C++ compiler you can try to port it yourself,  
or you can wait until someone has the same itch as you and decides to  
scratch it :-)

Regards,

John
