I'm trying to install nGinX as a reverse proxy on CentOS 5 with apache.

The instructions to do this are here:

http://wiki.mediatemple.net/w/(dv):Configure_nginx_as_reverse_proxy_web_server

Note- in the instructions, for the url to get nginx I'm using the following: http://nginx.org/download/nginx-1.0.10.tar.gz

Now here is my problem. After installing the required packages and running .configure I get the following:

It says if you get errors to stop and make sure packages are installed. I didn't get errors but as you can see I got several "not founds". Are those considered errors? If so how do I resolve that.

And as noted in the link, I cannot install through yum, because it wont work with plesk then. Thanks!
