Well, it's pretty obvious.. you don't have a configure file in that directory, or it is not readable somehow.

Usually these libraries come with a README or INSTALL file that has detailed info on the installation process. Try checking there. FFTW is pretty straightforward to compile usually.

Also check that the configure script is executable: 'ls -l configure' should show 'x' flags. If not: chmod +x configure.
