Hi, everybody. Hi, Shawkat. Check if libiconv, libtool, gmp-devel packages are in your system. It was the similar problem, when I recently try to compile&install libClt package.

Topic-starter does not have a root privileges on the system, therefore he can not install the devel package (with headers files) to the place where it should be. Of course, it is much better if his system administrator would install this package. But there is a way to overcome this without either 1) using root privileges or 2) compiling your own library - install headers for system library under your home, point compiler to them and link with the system library.
