Thanks for the suggestion, but no! A search for anything with
"config" in it gives the following:

find . -name '*config*' -print
./Amaya/config
./Amaya/config/libconfig
./Amaya/doc/html/attaching_annotations/configuring_annotation_settings.htm
l
./Amaya/doc/html/attaching_annotations/configuring_icons.html
./Amaya/doc/html/configuring_amaya
./Amaya/doc/html/configuring_amaya/about_configuration_directory_and_file_
conventions.html
./Amaya/doc/html/configuring_amaya/configuring_amaya.html
./Amaya/doc/images/configuration_for_annotations-de.png
./Amaya/doc/images/configuration_for_annotations-es.png
./Amaya/doc/images/configuration_for_annotations.png
./Amaya/doc/images/configurebox-fr.png
./Amaya/doc/images/configurebox.png

so there is neither 'configure' nor 'configure.in'.

Also, the README.amaya says, anyway, that there will be a 'configure
application' under 'Amaya', with no statement that you should run
'autoconf' first (but in any case there is no 'cionfigure.in').
It seems 'cinfigure' was supposed to be there, but is not in fact
present in these old source tar archives.

Best wishes,
Ted.
