You should not run autoconf at all. This is only needed if you are 
building ruby from subversion, to create the ./configure script. If you 
download a ruby source tarball then you already have this.

What you should do is start again: ./configure && make && make test, and 
then post the *exact* error message you see, plus a few lines either 
side for context. Use copy-paste.

Also, include all the important details you have missed off: what 
operating system and version you are building under, and what exact 
version of ruby you are trying to build.
