okay, I'm up now (stretch---aaahhh)now. what? oh yes...from the begininng.

./autogen.sh - yes?
./configure --prefix=/usr [<- you probably need this] --enable-optimize
--enable-arch-i686 (this too) - yes?
make - yes?
make install (as the root user - using sudo) yes?

I'm assuming that you also add the magic "-c" as previously described in
an earlier tome.

what you've got there is a 'make error' which is generally caused by
something that is missing in your system the program needs to build itself
(libs etc), or you missed out a step. if you missed out the 'make' step
and went straight to 'make install' that would explain it.

you can always start again with the following commands

make clean followed by make distclean
then start again from ./autogen.sh -> onwards. i havn't seen this
particular error myself Viktor. report back on the checklist above and
we'll see.

best,
