Got past that step no stuck here

charpick.c: At top level:

sudo?

[CyberBishop]

yes I used Sudo

[rbuj]

sudo ./configure ?

[CyberBishop]

yes did that

[rbuj]

then regular user cannot perform make as user doesn't have enough permissions after doing sudo ./configure

[CyberBishop]

kept on retrying seems like its working for now, still making

[raveit65]

./autogen.sh && make && sudo make install

[CyberBishop]

./autogen.sh && make && sudo make install

trying this now

[rbuj]

&& only will run the next command when the previous one exited successfully.
If you do not change the file permissions using chown you will have to run sudo make

this happened after make ran for a very long time

[CyberBishop]

sudo make stops at this point

[rbuj]

Change the file permissions of your working copy using chown (chown -R USER PATH), then remove the generated files on configure step using make distclean and start the process by running the commands one by one without chaining (&&).

./autogen.sh
make
sudo make install

Change the file permissions of your working copy using chown (chown -R USER PATH)
I dont get
