I'd agree with you here, except that Vincent said he had to use XDMCP to
connect to the internet.
I'm assuming that this means his NT system does not have direct access
to the internet which would be required by Everybuddy and therefore it
is not likely to work.

This looks like a problem with the line termination.  Windows uses a
Carriage Return, followed by a Line Feed to terminate a line, while UNIX
uses a single Line Feed.  If a DOS/Windows text file is read into a UNIX
editor like Vi, you will see a ^M at the end of each line.  ^M is hat
notation for a carriage return (ASCII character 13).

If you have Vi, or Vi Improved, you can open the configure script up and
use the following command:
:%s/<CTRL+V><CTRL+M>//
(note you should see :%s/^V^M// or something like that on the command line)

This will strip the carriage returns from the file.

Also, the configure script I think is written in the Bourne Again shell,
so if this doesn't work, try running this instead:
% bash configure

Just out of couriousity, how did you decompress the file?  If you used a
Windows utility, then this would be your problem.  To decompress a
.tar.gz file in UNIX:

% tar -xzvf <FILE>
(Note, the v is optional, it spits out each filename as it extracts it)
