I can't post to blfs-dev. I get:

'suspicious header found'

Anyway back to the topic - 

gpm-1.20.7 doesn't have a configure.ac file when unpacked.

So please change ./configure to ./autogen.sh

make gives this:

prog/display-buttons.c:39:57: fatal error: gpm.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
prog/display-coords.c:40:57: fatal error: gpm.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
prog/get-versions.c:25:57: fatal error: gpm.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.

But it doesn't terminate the compilation - which runs to the end.

make install then installs the gpm.h file in /usr/include that the above was 
presumably looking for.

So if you make again, there are no fatal errors. I've no idea which other 
package would supply gpm.h to make the above errors go away.
