Run ./autogen.sh instead of ./configure.  You may need some additional 
development software; it should be easy to download and install.
We should change the daily snapshots so that they are generated by 
"./autogen.sh && make dist" rather than just by "cvs export" (which is I 
assume what we're using now).  That would make a daily snapshot 
indistinguishable from a full source release.  To make things more 
consistent, we could then use the same freeciv machine to generate the 
source release - thus helping to avoid problems like the Xaw3d one in 
1.14.0.  It's possible this would mean installing other software 
(automake, autoconf) on the freeciv machine.  And no, I'm not sure what 
freeciv machine that would be...
