On Debian, try installing posh (POsix SHell) and running the script
with that. If you want old school Bourne shell compatibility (usually
configure scripts strive for this), you can try the Heirloom Bourne
shell, which is derived from OpenSolaris.

The documentation Thomas pointed you to should be helpful for POSIX
shells, though.
