[CentOS] Problem Making Tarballs

[ken]

I haven't had this many errors doing a make in a long, long, long, long
time... maybe never.  (I'm saying that I'm guessing here....)  It could
be that you were in the wrong directory when you ran "make" or, more
likely, you skipped a command (perhaps ".configure") that should have
been run before running "make".  Did a README file come with this
tarball?  If so, did you try looking through it for specific instructions?
