If there is a configure.ac file, that indicates that you have yet to run 
autoconf. Try running autoconf, and you should see a new configure 
script generated. Some packages will also have an autogen.sh script 
that does that for you.

Once you've got a configure script to execute, try that. Probably you'll 
find it fails at some dependency. Chase that down (try yum search 
dependency-devel), run ./configure again, and do that until configure 
says you can execute make.

Also, are there any INSTALL* files with specific instructions for that 
particular software?
