How much unused memory (RAM) did you have in your system when you ran the configure script? I have come across some strange errors when trying to compile some programs (festival for example) on memory deprived systems. Also, is the version of gcc you are trying to use compatible with the source code (maybe someone else can help with this question)? HTH and have a great day.
