[vorbis] Problem compiling ogg on OpenBSD-2.7

[Rakhesh Sasidharan]

Hi,

I have downloaded the following files 

libao-0.6.0.tar.gz  
libogg-1.0beta4.tar.gz 
libvorbis-1.0beta4.tar.gz
vorbis-tools-1.0beta4.tar.gz

as said from the download section.  But I'm at a loss to what do after
that.  I don't have much experience/knowledge in compiling etc, but I
still want to try out ogg.  (I downloaded the source coz I have an OpenBSD
machine, and there was no binary available).

I tried compiling libogg-1.0beta4.tar.gz and libao-0.6.0.tar.gz, but end
up with something like this upon running configure (the error is towards
the end):

I have included the whole file coz I wasn't so sure what to not include --
what is the above error supposed to mean ?  Is there anything I can do abt
it ?

Regards.
