You need to provide detailed information, i.e. the portion of the
"make" output containing the command which failed, and the error
messages which it produced.

Problems with headers are most often caused by neglecting to install
the relevant "dev" packages. A typical Linux distribution has separate
runtime and development packages for each library. The runtime package
is sufficient to run programs which require the library, but you need
the corresponding development package in order to compile programs
which use it.
