I ran the configure as you requested and am attaching the resultant
output.

In addition there was the following output which printed in my terminal
window.

configure: WARNING:
****************************************************************
configure: WARNING: Your system does not have shapelib installed.
Using an internal configure: WARNING: version.  This may lead to a
larger filesize for the executable. configure: WARNING: Install
shapelib on your system to eliminate this warning. configure: WARNING:
