Your problem is that you are trying to compile the first ever release of
samtools, namely 0.1.1 from six years ago. This release had a problem in its
makefile that causes these failures on Linux distributions released in the last
three years or so.
You probably want to install the current 1.1 release instead.
Cheers,
John
