Romain commented it already: running configure/make as root is usually not
advisable. Here (in this configure script) it is explicitely forbidden.

Now you should pick one of the following approaches:
A) remove your liquidsoap build directory (everything you downloaded/extracted)
   and start again
B) run "chown -R YOUR_USER: LIQUIDSOAP_DIRECTORY" as root - this will hand over
   the ownership of all files and directories below "LIQUIDSOAP_DIRECTORY" (you
   need to use your local path here) to the user "YOUR_USER" (pick your
   username here)

Now you can continue doing everything with your user account. Never use root.

The intended command is probably "script".
The man pages would have helped you:
 man -k typescript

Cheers,
