Linux compile problems - (help)

[Randy A. Katz]

Hello,

I was able to successfully compile Erlang under FreeBSD using the port. But
under RedHat Linux 6.0, kernel 2.2.5-15, I get the following messages after
a ./configure, make:

What can I do to get this to compile under Linux? Do I need different
libraries? Should I use a different distribution?

Thank you,
