JACK is not distributed with a configure script when it is retrieved
from CVS, which is typical of about 80% of CVS-based "releases". I
know that some people disagree with this, and believe that CVS should
include the configure script. I have yet to be convinced by this, but
I'm willing.
When using a CVS "package", you generally need to run a script,
typically called autogen.sh, not try to guess at how to build the
configure script yourself. JACK comes with such a script.
Finally, although many of the people involved with JACK read LAD, it
would be better to send questions about it to
jackit-devel_AT_lists.sourceforge.net, which is members-only to reduce
spam.
