problem building librep-0.92.0 with make

[Jim Coyote <jimcoyote007 gmail com>]

Hi

I have a new squeeze/wheezy hybrid
~(98/2) without conflicts just installed. I can not get librep-0.92.0
to make. Below are the configure and make log files. I get an
ERROR1&2 for the make output. I am fairly new at compiling my own
installs and know very little about using gcc with arguments. Could you
send some possible solutions.

thanks
Jiml
