Can't 'make' rtorrent after /configure

I don't know if anyone here will be able to help me but this is more difficult than I thought and more difficult than it should be.

I've downloaded rtorrent 0.9.2 (yes it needs to be this version) in a tar.gz format. I've extracted that and read the install file which say's you should run './configure' followed by 'make' and then 'make install'

I did the './configure and every time it gave an error about dependencies, so I installed the dependencies (I think I got all of them) and tried the 'make' command. When I do this though it doesn't work. I'm not sure what the actual error is as it doesn't make it clear but it does say 'makefile:383: recipe for target 'all' failed at the end.

I don't know what causing this or where to go from here.

I never knew installing something on linux that you download in a tar.gz was so difficult.

Any ideas anyone? Anyone seen this before?

Thanks
