Compilation of dbus-0.21 fails with undefined references

Hi
I wanted to try zero-install and it needed dbus. When I tried to compile 
dbus-0.21 with
./configure && make
I got this:

What is the matter here? Do I need some other program to compile dbus? I 
have installed expat-1.95.7. What other info do you need about my setup?

Thank you.
