Go into the lib/ directory and type "make dirs.h".  dirs.h is a generated
file that should be build automatically however is not.

The distribution mistakenly included the file however you probably typed did
a make clean or something like that.

PS: If anyone reading this is installing in a location other than
/usr/local please first remove dirs.h from the lib/ directory and then do
a "make dirs.h".  The one mistakenly included in the distribution will only
work correctly if you install in /usr/local.
