More specifically, look at config.log in 'vim' or 'less' (you are on ubuntu, so perhaps you don't have vim installed) and search for 'cannot compute size' i.e.
/cannot\ compute\ size - type it just like that, hopefully there is only one such report, but if there is more than one hit '/' again to find the next one. My guess is that you are missing some of the infrastructure. Google thinks that autotools might be needed for this - perhaps 'apt-get install build-essential' will do the necessary, not sure. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingEasyHowTo > > This file contains any messages produced by compilers while > running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake. > > It was created by Squid Web Proxy configure 3.3.9, which was > generated by GNU Autoconf 2.68.
