no luck with tarballs

i just got x11 and enlightenment running on my g4 powerbook (panther) and so i am starting to install my old tarballs. but i cannot get any of them to compile. i cannot get any of the ./configure files to finish.
usually i get an error saying that i need libast. so i got a tar of that and was able to configure it, but then got errors with make...

is there anything that i need to do before i will be able to compile anything. or are there certain builds that i need to look for?
anything?

thanks

Other than developer tools, you should be OK to start compiling. That said, "this and that library is missing" type errors can really try your patience...
