Now I have ran autoconf and then ./configure. Here is content of config.log

#/usr/local/bin/autoconf -v
# ./configure 
This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

It was created by configure, which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.59.  Invocation command line was

  $ ./configure
