./configure error. won't let me continue...

Hello. I am trying to ./configure and I have many options I want to add. I receive an error which is further below. It comes after I type this endless ./configure which you see below as shown via telnet: [root@www php-4.0.5]# ./configure --enable-bcmath --enable-ftp \ --enable-safe-mode --with-gd=/usr/local --enable-gd-native-ttf \ --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local --with-png-dir=/usr/local --with-ming \ --with-freetype-dir=/usr/local --with-t1lib=/usr/local \ --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --with-pgsql=/usr/local/pgsql \ --with-ttf=/usr/local --enable-shared-pdflib --enable-magic-quotes \ --with-zlib-dir=/usr/local ***ERROR IS:*** configure: error: can only configure for one host and one target at a time What does this mean? WHy do all examples I see format the options like this, yet it won't work for my raq 3? Is there a solution? I simply want to ./configure all at the same time so I can install this puppy (Php4) Thanks Joel
