Ben,

You need to make sure you have all you need - sudo aptitude install
build-essential - and probably at least the linux headers for your
running kernel:

sudo aptitude install linux-headers-`uname -r`

note: they are back-ticks above!

Then, for your build,

./configure
make
sudo make install

HTH,
Tony
