I built twin a couple of weeks ago and had the same problem you did. I
quickly discovered that the library was failing to be built in earlier
portions of the make. If memory serves, it was failing to find a necessary
library, once I installed that, everything built fine. I might suggest
adding something like '2>&1 |tee ../build.log' to the end of the make
command. This will log all of the output of the make to build.log one
directory higher than the source. (keeps the source from getting cluttered
with log files)

If the errors don't make sense, I'm sure you can find an interpreter here
on the lists.

Luck,

Dwarf
