Installing the Unity Asset Server 2.0.0 on ReadyNAS NV+

I'm testing the Unity Pro 30 day trial and I'm trying to get the Unity Asset Server working. I'm trying to install the Unity Asset Server 2.0.0f4 on my RedyNAS NV+ and I'm getting the following result:

checking build system type... config/config.guess: unable to guess system type

This script, last modified 2008-01-23, has failed to recognize
the operating system you are using. It is advised that you
download the most up to date version of the config scripts from

  http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=config.git;a=blob_plain;f=config.guess;hb=HEAD
and
  http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=config.git;a=blob_plain;f=config.sub;hb=HEAD

If the version you run (config/config.guess) is already up to date, please
send the following data and any information you think might be
pertinent to  in order to provide the needed
information to handle your system.

configure: error: cannot guess build type; you must specify one
make: Entering directory `/root/unity_asset_server-2.0.0f4-32404/postgresql'
You need to run the 'configure' program first. See the file
'INSTALL' for installation instructions.
make: *** [all] Error 1

Followed by more errors (resulting from missing directories etc...).

I made sure that I have all the required dependencies as stated in the install document (http://unity3d.com/asset-server/) before I started. I even tried to install postgresql manually but I can't figure out how to tell the configure script that I want to build a debian variant on Sparc platform...:(

Any suggestions?

I have answered my own question. I created a forum post that describes what I did in order to get the Unity Asset Server running in my environment. I hope this helps anyone that is also experiencing a similar problem.
