The message you forwarded originally was an make error, trying to
resolve a dependency on stdio.h.  It must be in there somewhere.

Do what I suggested earlier.  Find the directory that _does_ have
stdio.h, then make a symbolic link:

mkdir /usr
ln -s <real-include-dir> /usr/include

The CD may not really help.  Although my experience is that the
directory structure created by the CD installer is a little more sane
than the net release, I'm fairly certain it doesn't create a
/usr/include either... there isn't generally any need to.  (Of course
there are still other good reasons to buy the CD...)
