My problem is the following one:
When installing Axis2/c under the guidance of http://petio.org/ws/web_services_page7.html , which seems to be an adjusted manual from the official site I have a problem right after executing the make command in terminal. At exactly this point:
$ cd /tmp/axis/axis2c-src-1.6.0
$ ./configure --prefix=${AXIS2C_HOME} --enable-libxml2=yes
$ make
I get this error:

I am not able to understand the reason why this error is being produced.
Because 1.6.0 version is down, I am using the 1.5.0 source version of axis2/c from the official site : http://axis.apache.org/axis2/c/core/download.cgi .
I have additionally installed Apache2 and libxml2, OpenSSL, cURL, libiconv, and zlib. libraries.
I need your help because I am trying to build a serious project.
Thanks in advance.
Link to mirror of original Axis2/C-1.6.0 source distribution is here.
The main problem is with -Werror flag.
To compile original Axis2/C with modern compiler you must remove -Werror string from build scripts. To do that run this command after unpacking tarball:
find -type f -name configure -exec sed -i '/CFLAGS/s/-Werror//g' {} \;
Then configure and make Axis2/C.
Note: Original Axis2/C-1.6.0 has many issues like memory leaks and crashes. Consider using Axis2/C unofficial project instead. Most critical Axis2/C-1.6.0's issues is fixed within that project.
Also it have additional features https://code.google.com/p/axis2c-unofficial/wiki/IssuesList like JSON support and enhanced CURL-based transport authentication (and some other features).
There is an manual on how to install Axis2/C unofficial on Linux.
