Richard,
No, as the error message says, you can't run configure.pl directly from
git. You need to run makeDist first, which merges some important settings
(the list of libraries and binaries, as well as the release version and
date) into configure.pl.
Once you test it and confirm it works I'll release 4.1.1.
Also, several of your --config-override settings could be done
with --bin-path instead, but it should be fine either way.
