make fails, any suggestions?

There should be many more error messages "higher up" in the output of make...can you post the whole output?

hi, the make runs through a bunch of successes, but fails at ep-engine, thanks for helping, here is more:

Libraries have been installed in:
/membase-server_src/install/lib/memcached

If you ever happen to want to link against installed libraries
in a given directory, LIBDIR, you must either use libtool, and
specify the full pathname of the library, or use the `-LLIBDIR'
flag during linking and do at least one of the following:
- add LIBDIR to the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH' environment variable
during execution
- add LIBDIR to the `LD_RUN_PATH' environment variable
during linking
- use the `-Wl,-rpath -Wl,LIBDIR' linker flag
- have your system administrator add LIBDIR to `/etc/ld.so.conf'

See any operating system documentation about shared libraries for
more information, such as the ld(1) and ld.so(8) manual pages.

I believe the problem is related to the -Werror flag. We've got a task to remove it from our own source, but could you try removing that on your system and retrying?
