I have run across two common causes of configure scripts complaining
about not being able to locate the sources for a package.
1)	There is no /bin/sh or /bin/sh.exe
2)	Bad permissions on the source files.

The solution to either is relatively simple.  
1)	Copy or link your bash to /bin/sh, after creating the directory.
2)	"chmod -R +r *" in the source directory.  You may find it
necessary to run "chmod -R +x *" as well.

This has solved most of my configure-cannot-find errors.

Do you have binary mounts?  Did you use tar/gzip rather than winzip?  If
not,
remount binary, reinstall with tar/gzip, and configure will work.  Be 
prepared to remove carriage returns out of your other script files too 
otherwise they will start complaining.

See info on binary/text mounts in FAQ and the mailing list archives.
