What does this error mean when installing namecoin?

Question

I'm trying to set up namecoin, but I get the following error on running makefile.unix:

$ g++ -c -O2 -Wno-invalid-offsetof -Wformat -g -D__WXDEBUG__ -DNOPCH DFOURWAYSSE2 -DUSE_SSL -DUSE_UPNP=0 -o obj/nogui/net.o net.cpp

I think the issue may be Berkeley DB but I don't know how to check that. Anybody have any idea?

Alex is correct in his comment, the latest miniupnpc is broken. However you can use the working version here: http://miniupnp.tuxfamily.org/files/download.php?file=miniupnpc-1.5.tar.gz and then namecoind will compile fine.
