Compile & Use zsync

I am wanting to update a 1 GB ISO file for klikit-linux. I originally downloaded an alpha version but was unable to install it. The latest release has overcome these initial installation problems but I do not want to download the entire 1024 MB of data again. Someone has kindly provided and hosted a zsync meta-file, at http://www.nrvitsquad.com/klikit/klikit-ff-0.1-5b.iso.zsync
and all that remains is to compile, install and run the zsync client.

This is the first time I have attempted to compile and install a program in Linux, being a Linspire user and restricted to their CNR technology up until now. However their CNR warehouse has become more and more out of date and does not currently host zsync.

My first attempt at compiling went well but produced some errors, which I do not understand. Here is a link to the konsole output.
