Maybe we can, if you give us a bit more information:

* What version of ESPResSo are you using? It looks to me as though you
are using an old version (2.2.0b?). Please use the latest version
(3.0.0) that you can download from

  http://espressomd.org/wiki/Download

* If you still get an error when using that version, please send us the
file "config.log" that is created when you call configure. It contains
information about your system that we need to be able to identify the
problem.
