If I understand the configure script correctly, you need to specify the 
utility to be used for the pdftops filter (gs, pdftops, none), that is:
--enable-pdftops=pdftops for instance (where the "pdftops" following the 
equal sign menas the pdftops utility based on Xpdf or poppler (as installed 
by your Linus distribution). Without any argument this option seems to set 
the pdftops filter to use "none" as utility.
