The page you are referencing explains how to compile GraphicsMagick from source, if you want to be able to import large bit depth images into Octave. I guess that is what you want (note you didn't explain your original problem)? If so then you'll have to compile GM but also Octave yourself.

"configure" is a standard shell script that most developers use to check the presence of necessary tools and libraries on a given system. You'll find it in many source code distributions (including in GraphicsMagick's and Octave's tarballs).

I'll close this report as invalid (since the page you reference seems clear to me) and let you open a new one if you find an actual bug in Octave.

Re: wiki.octave.org/GraphicsMagick

I am running Octave 4.0.0 on Linux Mint 18.3 ‘Sylvia’ which is in turn running on an HP Compaq Elite 8300.
There is no ‘configure’ executable in my home directory.  I did find:

/lib/firmware/configure
/usr/share/bash-completion/completions/configure

Is this what the documentation is talking about?  I also found:

/usr/share/octave/4.0.0/m/pkg/private/configure_make.m

I didn’t see anything in there that look promising.  Did I miss something?

In any case this article did not work for me,
