You don't need --enable-debug-msg.
--help prints the help, don't specify it.

It seems that your system is a bit broken regarding /bin/sh,
make it (or ask your sysadmin) to resymlink it to the real shell.

Alternativelly, you may do "bash configure --prefix=...". But if your
system can't run standard shell scripts, then you will have many problems
including boot problems, I guess.
