configure is part of the build system; you would only use it if you plan
on compiling bacula from source code - generally not a good idea unless
you are a developer or need the latest features right away; if at all
possible, use a precompiled package from your distribution. Second-best
is to get a precompiled package from somewhere else.
When you download Linux source code, it almost always uses autoconfig to
build. In that case, you have to do several steps to compile:
make mrproper
./configure <your options here>
make
make install
rinse, lather repeat every time somebody comes out with an update.
That's why I said above: don't do it unless you absolutely have to.
Software maintenance can become a nightmare.
With precompiled packages, your distribution vendor will usually
automatically handle updating through rug, yast, zypp, apt-get, or
whatever mechanism they are using. The drawback is that you usually are
several versions behind.
