Help installing testing tarball from 25 July 2007 on red hat ent. linux 5, amd64

[Dr. Phyllis R. Nelson]

I'm looking forward to trying out all the improvements in 2.9.13.  
Unfortunately, I had problems with the installation.

I tried both the static and shared versions using 

./configure

and 

./configure --enable-shared --disable-static

as in the wiki directions.

With both the make failed with 

...
...

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
