The problem seems to be that you are using an old config.sh from 
somewhere.  The key line is this one:

    NOTICE:  Your previous config.sh list may be incorrect.

Configure outputs that line when it detects your are using a version of 
config.sh generated previously (perhaps from an old perl versioon).  The 
simplest fix may be to start with a fresh copy of the distribution, but 
without knowing where that old config.sh came from and why you were trying 
to use an old config.sh, I can't guess what you were trying to do.
