This is going to sound kludgy, but...

Go into the lib subdirectory and type
$ make
$ make install (as root)

Thereafter, fd2ps should be able to find the libforms.a/.so files fine when 
you return to the top level directory and type
$ make

Alternatively, and perhaps less kludgily, set your LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable to 
include the path to the generated libforms.a/.so files.
