Postgresql 7.3.1 + JDBC Build from Source

I am currently running Mandrake Linux 8.2.  uname -r ==> 2.4.18-6mdk. I
have recently installed Sun Java 1.4.1, GNU GCC 3.2.1, as well as
Jakarta ANT 1.5.1

Now I want to install the latest version of PostgreSQL (7.3.1) from
source... but I have having some problems getting the JDBC code to
compile properly.

After I downloaded the source code... and un-compressed it...

1) I ran the  ./configure  command     (all went well)
2) I ran the gmake   command

... and all went well with the  'gmake' until it came to the JDBC code.
I am getting the following messages:

=================================================================================================

These are a sampling of the messages; there are others.

What am I doing wrong ?????  I very much want to get the Java interface
into PostgreSQL working.
