Yes. To make that happen you need to have fig2dev program
(http://epb.lbl.gov/xfig) installed. It looks like this utility is
missing on your system. Most GNU/Linux distros I know of have the binary
package (it is called transfig, sometimes xfig, etc.). After installing
it re-run the configure script and try again.
 
Hope that helps,
