compile problem RH71 -> uircd 2.8.1

[Gary Stainburn <gary stainburn ringways co uk>]

Hi all, 

I've just tried to install uircd on a RH7.1 system and got the following 
errors:  This same tgz has compiled cleanly on previous RH versions (6.x) and 
mdk systems.  Anyone got any clues?

[gary gary uircd2.8.1]$ make
Running version.c.SH
cd src/; \
        sh version.c.SH; \
        cd ..; \
 
Extracting UltimateIRCd version.c...

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/gary/irc/software/irc/uircd2.8.1/src'
make: *** [build] Error 2
[gary gary uircd2.8.1]$

(btw, I'm not a C coder, and I've had very little to do with make, so simple 
instructions would be appreciated)

(abtw, when a collegue tried it on a RH7.0 system it core'd)
