If configure created the files "ftconf.h" and "lib/arch/unix/Makefile" before 
failing,
you can then simply do:

  cd lib
  make -f arch/unix/Makefile

If this doesn't work:

  create "ftconf.h" and "lib/arch/unix/Makefile" by hand from their ".in" 
versions
  then repeat the instructions above

  otherwise, read the file "howto/unix.txt" for a detailed compilation guide*

Hope this helps

- David
