help with octave-3.3.53 Sparse problem

[sibu xolo]

Greetings,

I am attempting to compile octave-3.3.53 on a computer with these:-
--cpu amd64   2 cores
--o/s cblfs linux S4-bit gcc-4.4.2 kernel-2.6.32, SuiteSsparse-3.4.9  with 
SPQR  installed

No errors were reported when running the configure script ( I had set 
CPPFLAGS="-I/path/SparseSuite/includes") 
and make failed   referring to  what  seemed as  references to SPQR headers.  
I then disabled  the CPPFLAGS envar and ran make again . 



############### But make AGAIN ended as shown below:-
