Sr Programming Language Install On Ubuntu 14.04 Compiler Errors - c++

Question

The SR Programming language is no longer being maintained, so I realize my chances of finding help on this issue might be slim. However, I need the language installed for classroom purposes and can't think of how to proceed.
Here's the seemingly sole source of information on the web about the language
http://www.cs.arizona.edu/sr/
The install package provides a Makefile for installation. However, running the following:
mkdir /usr/local/src/sr
cd /usr/local/src/sr
wget ftp://ftp.cs.arizona.edu/sr/sr.tar.Z
tar xzf sr.tar.Z
make
results in these errors

I figured that this might be a problem with the compiler version I was using. gcc -v returns gcc version 4.8.4 (Ubuntu 4.8.4-2ubuntu1~14.04), and the install files seem to be made to compile on earlier versions. I tried installing an earlier version of gcc such that gcc -v yields gcc version 3.4.6 (Debian 3.4.6-5), but ran into similar yet different compiler errors. Perhaps I did something wrong with the downgraded install because it seems weird that it says Debian 3.4.6-5.
The package also provides a install.sh file. Trying
chmod +x /usr/local/src/sr/install.sh
/usr/local/src/sr/install.sh
returns the following:

and nothing happens.
Can anyone make sense of these errors or at least give advice on how to proceed? It might seem futile because the language hasn't been maintained in a decade, but any advice would help me out tremendously.
Thank you
Update:
My Colleague provided these changes to the ./Configuration file:
sed -i -e "s:/usr/local:/usr:" -e "s:/usr/X11/lib:/usr/lib:" \
-e "s:CCPATH = /bin/cc:CCPATH = /usr/bin/gcc" \
-e "s:RSHPATH = /usr/ucb/rsh:RSHPATH = /usr/bin/ssh:" \

It gets rid of the initial pathing issues, but the compiler issues are still there.
With gcc 3.4 it gives
cmp -s multi/uni.h srmulti.h || cp multi/uni.h srmulti.h
cmp -s multi/uni.c srmulti.c || cp multi/uni.c srmulti.c

"SR" : Old files → → year 2001 !
"SR" compiles OK with gcc version 3.2.3 or gcc version 3.4.6 (
Edit the file 'Configuration'. (
No gcc32 for Ubuntu 14.04 ).)
# make install : Provides /usr/local/bin/sr
P.S. : gcc34 is available for Ubuntu 14.04 :
compat-gcc34-3.4.6-ubuntu1204-1_amd64.deb, or compat-gcc34_3.4.6-ubuntu15_i386.deb
