Given this error message, I would first go check to see if typing
clisp, gcl, lisp, scl, etc. actually does something other than give an
command not found.  If none of the commands work, then you don't have
any Lisp implementation installed, so you need to get one (any will
do).

If you know you have one of the mentioned implementations installed,
figure out where it is and add that to PATH.  Alternatively, tell
configure where it is using --with-<impl>=<full path to lisp>
