[BRLTTY] Trouble installing the latest version

[Amanda Lacy]

I got a bit farther with this option, but now it quits because it
can't find the brltty-tunes directory. Which other options should I
use with configure?

BTW, I tried the options --disable-pcm-support and
--disable-beeper-support. They're listed in the manual, but configure
doesn't recognize them as options.
