Not sure what you're trying to say.

Nothing I've said here is false.

Here's what I could find by searching for "compiling Scid under Ubuntu":

http://blog.thameera.com/installing-scid-in-ubuntu-linux/";

I'm not using Ubuntu. Irrelevant.

This seems to work.  Perhaps the problem resurfaced recently:

http://askubuntu.com/questions/338017/scid-chess-program-compiling-issue";

This is irrelevant;

1) I'm not using Ubuntu.

2) I've already gotten it to configure. I've stated this.

Here is the output I get after I've configured this:

configure: Makefile configuration program for Scid
    Renaming "Makefile" to "Makefile.bak"
    Tcl/Tk version: 8.5
    Your operating system is: Linux 3.8.0-19-generic
    Checking if your system already has zlib installed: yes.
    Using Makefile.conf.
The Makefile configured for your system was written.
Multi-threading enabled (if you have problems try ./configure THREADS="").
Now just type "make" to compile Scid.

"But you claimed the solution was not advanced stuff."

Using autotools for your own project is not a problem and is trivial. scid
is not my project, so I don't know the compilation dependencies, nor as a
user, should I be required to.

Why can't you just admit that your little script is 100% broken?
