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.
