Unless you have a special configuration needs, your best bet to compile on Linux is to just run

   make

Precede this with

   rm -f config.mak.autogen

if you have already run ./configure.

That doesn't liberate you from installing missing development packages, though, and you'll see the same error as above, also with no advance warning.
