[pwc] Trouble installing, total n00b

Hi, I've been having some difficulty installing the Philips USB Webcam
Driver for Linux. 

I've been following the instructions in the INSTALL.en file (with
modification due to changes in the version number) to try to install the
10.0.12-rc1 file.

I've downloaded and extracted the files (they are now located
at /home/alex/pwc-10.0.12-rc1)

I've gotten as far as the make command and I'm stuck (terminal output
included at the end of the message). It returns a whole bunch of errors
and I figure that I've gotten something wrong, but can't figure out what
it is.

I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 Desktop (64 bit version) and I'm trying to get my
quickcam (I believe that it's the Quickcam 4000 pro)to work. It's a
fairly new install of Linux but I've been working on getting a few
things working right and figured that since everything was going so well
- I got about 3 out of 4 things working right so far and it's only been
about a week! :)- that I'd try to get the webcam working. Other than
that I'm a total newbie to Linux and will probably need the most
idiot-proof instructions possible to get this working. 

Anyone know how to fix the problem other than getting a new webcam /
smarter person to follow the instructions?

Any help appreciated.
Alex



I get this in the terminal:
