What's with the chmod line?
   "chmod: cannot access `conf4161.sh': No such file or directory"

What do the referenced lines in conf4161.sh say? Do a little
detective work.

Did you download the tarball as the user other than the one you're using
to run config? Who owns the tarball and the directory where is doing its
thing? The configure may need to create temporary files and use them.
