so is it okay ? what i have to do ?

It's not executable which is why even root get the permission denied
error. To fix that, you can either use one of two commands. If you use
either:

bash configure

or:

sh configure

that will start a new shell that will execute the script. This is a
quick method of calling the script, but you'll need to remember to do
this each time you want to use this particular configure script. If it's
only ever going to be called once, this will be slightly faster due to
having less to type.

The other choice is to set the executable flags on the file using:

chmod 755 configure

This makes it so that you don't need to remember to call the script
using a new shell, but for a once-off involves a little more typing.
This would be my personal preference, since I rarely call a configure
script just the once.
