The errors above come from C complier. So, let me start from that. Though,
you might follow Nils's advice about slicot.

So, what f2py version are you using? If it is very old, then I suggest
upgrading and regenerating slicot.pyf file (there are major differences
regarding multi-dimensional arrays). Also, using Makefile to build
extension modules is not supported anymore. Either use
  f2py -c ..
or write setup.py file that uses scipy_distutils.

Also, a relevant fragment from the .pyf file would be useful to see in
order to find out what is causing these errors.
