Stephen,

Thanks for jumping in on this.

I tried the first method, using the mv command.  Rename worked but dos2unix
failed, my system does not have dos2unix in our $PATH.

Our $PATH is:
/usr/lib64/qt-3.3/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/bin

Tried method 2,   Tell me:  After which statement do I place the statement
set ff=unix

Or, if that is not meant to be a statement inside the configure script,
then how do I set ff=unix when I am invoking the configure script ?

Yes, I am a newbie, but I have a good grounding in fundamentals.
