but looks like insufficient information....

just run MAKE
you're going to have to manually clean out all of the old 'o' files yourself or just let make overwrite them.

R U starting from scratch?

do you got a configure file that you have ran already?

automake ran if needed?

is this a tar file you opened then made some changes to?
if not then you may have to run gcc x x x x xx x

you should have done an ls then copy pasted that terminal output in here so I can see what is going on in that directory. So I can better see why you are getting that error.
