You need working compiler, of course :-) Looks like you downloaded version
for libc5 and using it on glibc-based system or something like this.
On Linux usually installation of binaries is MUCH harder then sources.
That is if all goes right installation of binaries is breeze but if something
goes wrong then something REALLY goes wrong: usually much faster to recompile
the whole thing from scratch then to track problem down to library
incompatibilities... It's possible! There are LOTS of tools for that! If you do
not have choice (binary-only program, for example) you'll need to do this.
But if can recompile thing then usually it's best choice.
