The configure script looks to be crashing when it tries to process the first module file. The fact that chklatex.ltx and chkmodules.txt have not been removed indicate that, as does the suspiciously small size of your chkmodules.tex. Can you run the command Stephan gave you from the terminal again, but this time copy and paste the end of the output? I'm wondering whether Python itself is issuing some kind of error message. Can you also check the python version you are using? Run python --version. I've just seen that I'm getting a crash with python 3.7.4, though a bit later than you are: +checking list of textclasses...
