Thanks, yes that's it, I'd tried running the configure script after setting permissions etc.  But I couldn't understand what was going on.  But it's the end of line character.  Oh silly me not spotting it.  Now I've just got to find the utility to convert the files.

./configure
-bash: ./configure: /bin/sh^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
