iftop-0.17 Configure error - build failure

[joel@…]

When I try to install the "iftop" port I get the following error:

mymac:~$ sudo port install iftop

If I manually run the shell commands shown in the error above:

Am I doing anything wrong? Maybe I'm missing something...? Why doesn't it build?
