I am trying to compile zm, when I execute scrip zmconfig.pl.in appears to me this

excuse the gramatica but I do not speak ingles

This looks suspiciously like you haven't run the ./configure stage?

Thank you
when I execute
./configure --with-mysql=/usr/ --with-webdir=/var/www/html/zm/ --with-cgdir=/var/www/cgi-bin/
it appears

checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for gawk... gawk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
configure: WARNING: You can call configure with the --with-ffmpeg option.
This tells configure where to find the ffmpeg build directory within which are the libavcodec
and libavformat files that can be used to build true MPEG streaming into ZoneMinder. A normal
install of ffmpeg only installs the applications and not the libraries or headers necessary
to link to so this will probably be a local or temporary directory.
e.g. --with-ffmpeg=/usr/local
configure: WARNING: You can call configure with the --with-lame option.
This tells configure where to find the Lame library which can be used by the ffmpeg libraries
to generate IE compatible MPEG audio streams. This option is only necessary if you have built
the ffmpeg package itself with the --enable-mp3lame option and if the normal link cannot
find the library. Using mp3lame is not necessary or of any benefit to ZoneMinder per se.
e.g. --with-lame=/use/local/lib
configure: error: You must call configure with the --with-cgidir option.
This tells configure where to install cgi files and scripts.
e.g. --with-cgidir=/var/www/cgi-bin or --with-mysql=/www/vhtdocs/<site>/cgi-bin

As the error message says, you also need to tell it the location of ffmpeg, lame, your cgi directory, etc

You have a typo should be Phil
