See `config.log' for more details.


anyone know what program i'm missing here?

Have you installed the package "build-essential"? If not install that and try again. Most likely you don't have a C compiler installed.

Just run this

sudo apt-get install build-essential g++

What program are you trying to compile and also take a look at the config.log file which will contain more information about what failed.
