can't get svgalib to compile!

What is my problem? besides being a newbie, that is.

On a virtually untouched Redhat 7 installation, I get this message when
trying to compile 1.9.5:

/usr/local/src/svgalib-1.9.5/src/keyboard/keyboard.c: In function
`keyboard_getevents':
/usr/local/src/svgalib-1.9.5/src/keyboard/keyboard.c:496: malformed
floating constant
/usr/local/src/svgalib-1.9.5/src/keyboard/keyboard.c:496: case label does
not reduce to an integer constant
make[1]: *** [keyboard/keyboard.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/svgalib-1.9.5/sharedlib'
make: *** [sharedlib/libvga.so.1.9.5] Error 2
[root@localhost svgalib-1.9.5]#


I get the exact same message when trying to install svgalib-1.4.2.

The following are the contents of my Makefile.cfg file. I know I must be
making a newbie mistake, but I don't know what it is. I would be very
grateful if you could point me in the right direction! Thank you.
