Angry installing apps help :(


I must have something big wrong with my system , or am missing things. I can't seem to get anything to install properly, from tar.gz files.
Here's an example from trying to install everybuddy. This is just some of the errors from the make.

--------------------
jutil.c: In function `jutil_timestamp':
jutil.c:156: warning: implicit declaration of function `time'
jutil.c:160: warning: implicit declaration of function `gmtime'
jutil.c:160: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast
jutil.c:162: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type
jutil.c:163: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type
jutil.c:163: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type
jutil.c:163: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type
jutil.c:164: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type
jutil.c:164: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type
make[2]: *** [jutil.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/at/installed/everybuddy-0.2.0/libjabber'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/at/installed/everybuddy-0.2.0/libjabber'
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
---------------------------

I really don't understand why there would be such problems. Another example is trying to install an upgrade of netscape to the current version. I download the files via the installer and try to run it and get errors when it tries to install.
Anywun got any ideas?

if you cannot build programs it may be that you do not have the kernel source, you have the wrong kernel source


or maybe your compiler is not working



see if you have /usr/src/linux


if you have redhat then check this out

if you have a link /usr/src/linux-2.4 then do this

ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.4 /usr/src/linux
