Hi All,

I don't know why I can't just ever compile without errors.  I'm trying to
recompile my Pidgin with SSL support for MSN.  I saw that I needed to
build/install nss-3.9.2.  I downloaded it and I'm in /usr/local/src/nss-
3.9.2/mozilla/security/nss directory and I typed in "make nss_build_all".
It starts out fine, but then I get an error message that reads:

=====

Can anyone shed some light on this for me?  Thanks.
