   You first run ./autogen.sh in your source tree. For now, don't use 
any configure options at all, let Gnash pick it's defaults.
  
Sigh .. bottom line, not there yet.

1. ./autogen.sh complained about not having autoconf

2. yum install autoconf.noarch  claimed it was already installed and 
up-to-date

3. went to htp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/autoconf , downloaded it, installed it.

4. ./autogen.sh :
I am going to run ./configure with no arguments - if you wish
to pass any to it, please specify them on the ./autogen.sh command line.
Usage: autoreconf [-f] [-h] [--help] [-m dir] [--macrodir=dir]
      [-l dir] [--localdir=dir] [--force] [--verbose] [--version]

That "Usage" message seems suspicious to me; irregardless, no configure 
file was produced.
which autoconf   and    which autoreconf   both show them in 
/usr/local/bin .

Thank you for helping,
