Yes.
First, make sure your system has a stdarg.h header. (stdarg.h first appeared
in C89, so only a system with a *VERY* out-of-date C compilation environment
wouldn't have one.)
Then:
if you configured by running the configure script:
do "make distclean";
re-run the configure script, and capture its output into a
file, e.g. "./configure 2>&1 | tee config.out" for a Bourne-compatible shell;
check the configure output file to make sure the configure
script found stdarg.h;
if not, look in the config.log file to see *why* it didn't find
stdarg.h, and fix that problem;
if you configured by using CMake:
remove the build directory in which you ran CMake;
re-run CMake, and capture its output into a file
check the configure output file to make sure CMake found
stdarg.h;
if not, look in what error file CMake also generated to see
*why* it didn't find stdarg.h, and fix that problem.
