Well, we cannot tell you exactly what happened since we don't know which Unix 
you are using, which versions of the various dependencies you have installed, 
whether you have the development packages installed (if you are using a 
version of Unix or Linux that makes that distinction). 

If an error like this flummoxes you, you should be using the binary packages 
your distribution provides for you. A configure error like this is not the 
usual case.

What kind of a system are you running?

Nobody tries popularizing software this way. We work together with linux 
distributions to provide binary versions of our software for distribution to 
users through their package management system. That's the way we want to 
popularize our software. Users don't run the configure script or compile 
source.

Not without a lot more information.
