[tex-k] error during pdftex building

[Li Cai]

Hello,

I was tring to install pdftex (from the source) onto
a solaris 7 X86 machine.
I downloaded from your site  the "pdftex-20010417.tgz" source code and
unpacked it using gnutar. I also have gnu make 3.77 and gnu gcc compiler
2.95.2 on this system. I have no problem configure it. But I always have
errors when I try to compile it using make. The erros follows:

---------------------------------------------------------------------
