Compiling MIT Scheme on Ubuntu 9.04

When I run ./configure I receive:

configure: running /bin/bash ./configure '--prefix=/usr/local' --cache-file=/dev/null --srcdir=. Unknown machine type: none configure: error: ./configure failed for compiler

This is on a Lenovo laptop with 4GB of memory.
Linux shllaptop 2.6.28-15-generic #49-Ubuntu SMP Tue Aug 18 19:25:34 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Any suggestions?

Why don't you just run

$ sudo apt-get install mit-scheme

$ sudo apt-get install mit-scheme-doc

that should give you all you need.

EDIT

I beg to differ with those who doubt the packages!

Starting with the basics -- do you have the build-essential package installed?
