help me out on installation!!!

Hi, all,

I am installing postgresql-7.1.2  on Linux 2.4.12.  I did configure
with only one option --prefix=.... when I did make ( I am using
gnu make 3.78.1 and gcc 2.95.2), I got errors below:

.......

I have no idea to figure it out. Hope you can help me out. Thanks
