Are you sure there was an error in make? What you see isn't a problem, it's
just a notification. Make is telling you the tk, bsddb, and sunaaudiodev
modules won't be installed because you don't have the libraries on your
computer. If it got that far, I'm almost certain that the build was
sucessful. Make install should work from there. If you aren't going to use
those modules, go ahead and install it, otherwise download those libraries
and try again.
