Oh, how I wish I could pore over the output of make and know therefrom the underlying cause of its downfall. But after looking at your error messages, my crystal ball shows a murky picture that looks like.... You're running out of disk space? You have hardware problems? You have an unusual system configuration? You used a strange C compiler? Your system is infected by a virus? You sacrificed the wrong kind of goat? Sorry. Unless one of those things seems familiar (especially disk space or something else unusual on your system), I recommend that you try it all again from the beginning, unpacking the source distribution into a new, empty directory and continuing from there. If you run into troubles (ideally, the exact same troubles as before) try running Configure without the -de, paying special attention to whether the default answers are actually correct for your system. In the meantime, I'll be hoping that somebody with a better crystal ball can give you a more precise answer as to what you're doing wrong.
