configure.log is missing the log corresponding to the error encountered.

Usually this happens when the binaries cannot be run. One reason for that is - some of the .so files
couldn't be loaded by ld.so

You appear to have LD_LIBRARY_PATH set - so I'm not sure why you get this error.

Matt would have to check configure.log to see why the corresponding errors are mising from configure.log
