Let me add the following hints:

On the website's Release Notes page, it says


This command creates the configuration script. You need to do that only 
if you get the sources from the subversion repository. This is unneeded 
if you downloaded a tar.bz2 source archive.

$ ./reconf-all


That's not true, ./configure is not included in the tar.bz2. So I 
invoked ./reconf-all which resulted in the error message mentioned before.

Nevertheless, afterwards a ./configure has been produced, and so I just 
tried the next step:

$ ./configure -C


But it stops very short after start, giving a lot of library errors, all 
looking like this one:

=== configuring in help (/home/tester/Downloads/Gambas2/gambas2-2.23.0/help)
configure: WARNING: no configuration information is in help

Then at the end, it says

************************************************************

ALL COMPONENTS WILL BE COMPILED

************************************************************

I didn't try this, it will be futile I guess... Maybe this helps you 
somehow :-)
