increasing the maximum number of pages




I am trying to increase the maximum number of pages of memory available in 
maxima.
Looking back through earlier posts on this thread, I found the suggestion:


Maximal amount of memory GCL can allocate is determined at compile
time. By default it is 32*1024 pages (page size may be different on
different systems)
which amounts to 128Mb of RAM with 4K page. If you really want more RAM
for your computations you should rebuild GCL with
   ./configure --enable-maxpage=64*1024
or even more.


I can't get this to work. Apparently, configure is some script that I don't 
have anywhere in my maxima
directories. Any suggestions about where I can download it?


Thanks.
