Slackware64 14.1 & Nginx

All,

I'm having difficulty with installing the nginx webserver on my Slackware Linode. The Slackware image for the Linode seems to be stripped down to the bare essentials. I have installed several additional base slackware packages but am still unable to compile the nginx slackbuild. The error is as follows. Thank you.

nginx-1.4.1/auto/cc/clang
nginx-1.4.1/auto/cc/acc
nginx-1.4.1/auto/cc/bcc
nginx-1.4.1/auto/cc/ccc

I'm not certain I have every dependency installed, but if someone could point me in the right direction, I'd really appreciate the help. Thank you.
