I was remiss in not pasting the full output of make. Confusingly
buildout will intersperse normal progress messages in between error
messages, in such a fashion that time seems not to be flowing
continuously. This led me to miss the compile error that was fixed by
installing that package.

The lesson: always read further back in buildout failure output than you
think that you need to.

Thanks,

James
