Looks like I may be stuck.  I went to the build directory and ran 
./configure manually which seemed to work but make fails to build.

 > 1081  ./configure --program-prefix= --disable-dependency-tracking 
--prefix=/usr --exec-prefix=/usr --bindir=/usr/bin --sbindir=/usr/sbin 
--sysconfdir=/etc --datadir=/usr/share --includedir=/usr/include 
--libdir=/usr/lib64 --libexecdir=/usr/libexec --localstatedir=/var 
--sharedstatedir=/var/lib --mandir=/usr/share/man 
--infodir=/usr/share/info --enable-tests --enable-utils --enable-modules

--with-linux-obj=/lib/modules/4.7.3-100.fc23.x86_64/build 
--with-kmp-moddir=extra --disable-server

Here is the make output which appears to be an issue with the 
libcfs_string.h file.
