Apache thrift can not make

Question

When I'm trying to configure and make thrift 0.9.1 it gives some errors. Can anyone tell me the reason for that and what should I do to overcome this issue. Errors are shown in below.

There are two resources on the Thrift web site worth reading when one runs into troubles like this.

The Requirements give a good overview about the dependencies; the Building From Source page explains build steps and configure switches briefly. Additionally, the requirements page holds some links to more specific information for builds on Ubuntu, CentOS, Windows and OS X.
