Do you mean that git clone is failing?
You should only clone once.  After that,
update with git pull.

The configure script is not in the git
repository.  You must generate it.  You
can do that either by running autogen.sh
or simply run autoreconf.  Here are the
commands you want:

$ cd ~/git/ratpoison
$ git pull
$ autoreconf -iv
$ mkdir ~/build/ratpoison
$ cd ~/build/ratpoison
$ ~/git/ratpoison/configure --prefix=$HOME
$ make
$ make install
