As someone else already mentioned, the immediate problem is that the
configure script is not executable.

But I guess this means that you extracted the asterisk tarball on a file
system that has no executable bit (e.g. on windows) and copied it from
there. If you did so: this is kind of pointless: just copy
asterisk-1.4.22.tar.gz and extract it:

  tar xzf asterisk-1.4.22.tar.gz
  cd asterisk-<tab><tab> #you'll figure out where
  ./configure 
  # yada, yada, yada
