Linux – Installing ICU 49 on CentOS

I'm trying to install ICU 49 on CentOS release 5.8 (Final). The only way I know how to do it is compiling by source.

I do the following:

./runConfigureICU Linux
gmake

And get the following error towards the end of the compile:

I've found absolutely nothing on Google to help me. I'm using icu4c-49_1_2-src.tgz from http://site.icu-project.org/download/49
