It likely doesn't compile because the source file is rather old and no
longer maintained. I have found an alternative though - a web interface
where a hosts file can be punched in and a zone file returned:
http://pgl.yoyo.org/adservers/hosts2zonefile.php
Also on this website is described a rather clever scheme for using the name
server to block pop-up ads.
Works quite well - they just need a utility for creating the reverse zone as
well.
