jsprf.c:644: error: incompatible types in assignment

Question

Can you help me with this error I encountered while building Spidermonkey in PPC?

make -f Makefile.ref cat: ../../dist/Linux_All_DBG.OBJ/nspr/Version: 
No such file or directory 
cd editline; make -f Makefile.ref all 
make[1]: Entering directory `/units/ 
spidermonkey-1.8-next-wip/src/editline' 
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `all'.

I'm using a Redhat-Linux machine.

Do I need to have NSPR too to cross-compile spidermonkey?

Thanks a lot!!
