Thanks for the report.
You did not say where you downloaded it from, but assuming you meant

http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/emacs-lisp-intro/texi/emacs-lisp-intro-texi.tar.gz

this is fixed now.

There isn't supposed to be a configure script included, you are supposed
to just be able to run make.

Note that this manual is included with every Emacs release since 22.1
(six years ago), so AFAIK very few people download it separately.
