wacom CTL-472 installation on Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS (build failure issue)

I tried to install drivers for wacom CTL-472 on my laptop that runs with Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS.

I tried most of the suggestions I found on internet. None of them worked.

For example, I visited

1. I opened I ran sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf linux-headers-$(uname -r) and got the following output

   Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree
   Reading state information... Done
   build-essential is already the newest version (12.4ubuntu1).
   autoconf is already the newest version (2.69-11).
   linux-headers-4.15.0-72-generic is already the newest version (4.15.0-72.81).
   0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

2. Then, as mentioned there, I opened , downloaded input-wacom-0.45.0.tar.bz2 and extracted

3. Then I run if test -x ./autogen.sh; then ./autogen.sh; else ./configure; fi && make && sudo make install || echo "Build Failed"and got this output:

bash: ./configure: No such file or directory Build Failed

Running xinput list gives following output

xinput list
⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ Logitech USB Receiver id=10 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad id=13 [slave pointer (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)] ↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Power Button id=6 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Video Bus id=7 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Power Button id=8 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Logitech USB Receiver id=9 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ HP Truevision HD: HP Truevision id=11 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=12 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Logitech USB Receiver id=14 [slave keyboard (3)]

How to I solve the build failure and proceed to solve this?

The page says that "The "Linux" column indicates that minimum kernel version that natively supports the tablet". Further it says "You can check your kernel version by running uname -r". I did that and found that, kernel is "4.15.0-72-generic" (please see attached pic below) where as according to that page, kernel should be minimum 4.16 (please see attached pic below).

I think that could be a problem. How do I solve this?

I have checked at to see if my device is supported. It turns out that it does. I am attaching the screenshot.

I am also adding screenshots of the downloaded folder (with location).

Screenshot of contents of the folder is below

For ./configure I got following response.

screenshot for configure permission is below.
