Please take a look at
src/config.h
and check that these lines
/* Define to 1 if using libm17n-flt. */
#define HAVE_M17N_FLT 1
/* Define to 1 if using libotf. */
#define HAVE_LIBOTF 1
are present. If not see
* Complex Text Layout support libraries
in the INSTALL file in the emacs top-level directory. Given that this
works in your distro's emacs 23 you should already have the necessary
libraries, but perhaps they are too old or configure can't find them
(config.log should give a clue).
