We prefer inline logs to attachments because it's easier to snip the 
former down to the relevant issue rather than having to copy and paste 
out of a file

In your case that would be:

Looking for incorrect headers in 194 dependency files...
         ./src/.deps/warc.Po uses /usr/local/include/zconf.h
         ./src/.deps/warc.Po uses /usr/local/include/zlib.h

You've installed a third-party zlib; something else probably put that 
there for its own benefit. I'm not sure why packages like to do this, 
since OS X comes with its own zlib--that's what we use.

Libraries in /usr/local are problematic, because

1) They can be overwritten easily by newer (or older) incompatible 
versions of themselves, causing runtime breakage.
2) It's essentially impossible to hide /usr/local from the build tools.

We recommend temporarily renaming /usr/local while building with Fink:
