The problem is that you are using the system header files (those in
/usr/include), which do not support prototypes on your system.  In those
headers, sprintf() is defined with:

	extern char     *sprintf();

ie. No parameters, since that is what is done with ugly old K&R C compilers.
My guess is that the install failed because it was trying to write to
/usr/include.  Unfortunately, I haven't done an install of 2.2.2, so I
can't give details of how to fix this.  Just look around for the string
"/usr/include" in the configuration files.
