And yes, your system is extremely outdated, reopen once you are able to reproduce w/ up-to-date system.
erm, not so sure ... looks to me like something is screwed on your system due to packages clobbering each other ... please run: qfile /usr/include/fnmatch.h
get back to us, your system looks broken
