Subject: Noob:  Building Yarv 0.4.0

Apologies if this is posed in the wrong forum...

I'm having problems building yarv 0.4.0 on Linux.

I've tried building with stable/production ruby release and
with ruby 1.9.0 (last night's snapshot).

Here's the error I'm getting.  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated
as I'd love to try it out.

To build I unpacked the yarv tar.gz file.
cd yarv-0.4.0
autoconf
./configure ...
make

Error:
