What is "version 7.5"?

What's the output of the command "uname -a"?

Looks like you're using a non-conforming C compiler.  What's it's

The above errors are probably due to the use of a non-conforming C
compiler.

I suggest the following:

    1.  Go to the top-level source directory.

    2.  Perform steps 3 through 5 near the end of the INSTALL file.

    3.  Ensure that the environment variable CC references the absolute
        pathname of a conforming C compiler (e.g. "/opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc").

    4.  Perform steps 6 through 9 near the end of the INSTALL file.
