It seems to me that you are trying to install "tree-sitter" from Melpa
with Emacs >= 29?  If that is your intention, please note that there is
now builtin support for tree-sitter in Emacs >= 29, and that Melpa
"tree-sitter" is therefore not compatible with Emacs >= 29.

Although, please take that with a grain of salt, because I noticed that
tree-sitter is not mentioned in configure, nor the configured features.
If I'm not mistaken, tree-sitter feature is automatically enabled when
the executable "tree-sitter" is found.  Did you install it from your
package manager like brew?

Maybe try to "configure" with --with-tree-sitter and report back what
happens?  And also please show what "which tree-sitter" returns on your
system.
