lots of erros while executing step "configure && make && make install"

Question

I am trying to install f2k in my ubuntu14 machine by cloning the git repo and executing the the step "./configure && make && make install". However, I'm getting lots of "no such header file errors". Please find below the snippet that I got after executing the step. There were other errors too, which I removed by removing some of dependent packages. But, for below errors, I'm not able to find any proper solution.

Answer 1

It looks like that author was too optimistic about simple install - you need to install number of libraries to make it working: librd, libpcap, rb_mac_vendors (from the same author), etc.
