Looks like a couple files that MIGHT need permissions don't have it.
Also you seem to have a version for a redhat / other distro. But if you
want to try to continue this may fix your problem.

chmod -R 755 ~/kannel/sqlbox

then try to configure again.

Also if you go to the ubuntu software center you can get it from there
and it will auto install it for you. or type this to install it.

sudo apt-get install kannel-sqlbox 

I think your best option is to use the apt-get command IMO. Your call.
Good luck!
