Need Pkgconfig help!

Trying to install GNOME 2.2.1 from source. I started off by removing GNOME 
1.4 from my laptop running Redhat 7.3. It screwed up GNOME (duh), so I lost 
GNORPM and had to uninstall GNOME mostly by looking for directories and 
typing "rm -rf <directory>" by hand until I thought I had done a thorough 
job. Then I tried to temporarily replace GNOME with Blackbox, which I can 
only seem to start by typing "startx /usr/local/bin/blackbox", although I'm 
not sure why that is the only way it works. Now I'm compiling the GNOME 
2.2.1 sources in an xterm window within Blackbox in the order recommended on 
the GNOME website. I got everything up to pkgconfig to install without 
problems of any kind. Once I got to pkgconfig, though, I got stuck for two 
days and still can't figure it out, and yes, I've tried GOOGLE searches; 
many of them. This is my last resort. Here is my problem:

[root@localhost pkgconfig-0.15.0]# make

It does this every time. I've tried it hundreds of times for two days, and I 
can't figure it out. I don't even know what it means. Please 
help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
