Okay - that warning is normal and nothing to worry about (Well
I'm worrying about it for a future version, so you don't have

Next step is "./configure", what happens when you type this?

If it makes it easier you can catch the output in a file using
the script command.

script mybuild.txt
./configure

Then a "ctrl-D" will stop logging output to file.
