It means that the compilation or the linking (final step of the compilation) did not succeed, due to the lack of a library or to incompatibilities of the different libraries or to some other reason which is mentioned in the error messages (the message you quote is tipycally the last of a series of messages). [Recently, in the course of the discussion about static vs. dynamic linking, I compiled several programs both statically and dynamically. Some programs (mc-4.5.40, lyx-1.1.5) compiled OK, while others (mutt-1.0, lyx-1.1.2) compiled only with dynamic linking. Messages of the kind you mention are obtained when compiling was not successful]. If you want more help from us you should try: make 2>MAKERRORS which will send the error messages in a file called MAKEERRORS (or any other name you like), then append this file to your email together with other explanations you may have, (what program you are trying to compile etc.).
