I downloaded your latest release.
ed@mikado:~/Downloads$ tar -zxf libkml-release-1.2.tar.gz
ed@mikado:~/Downloads$ cd libkml-release-1.2/
ed@mikado:~/Downloads/libkml-release-1.2$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/klm-1.2
bash: ./configure: No such file or directory
So it seems that instead of doing a "make dist" and uploading to the github release page, you just let github build your releases. This is not a good idea.
Anyway, moving on from that, I tried to build your release from source with your autogen.sh script. But it fails as well:
