configure: error: cannot run /bin/sh build-aux/config.sub

It seems that not all of the correct scripts are "installed" to the build-aux directory...?

Do you have all dependencies properly installed in your system? gcc make autoconf automake ?

Currently running into this on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. Followed the instructions here, https://developers.cardano.org/docs/get-started/installing-cardano-node/#linux

Verified each of those dependencies installed.

Okay, was able to move forward. I looked inside the config.sub and config.guess files in libsodium/build-aux/, both of which were somehow html responses with 503 errors. Copied both files from /usr/share/automake-1.16/ to the build-aux directory and was able to run ./configure without error
