The default installation of Ubuntu doesn't include the gcc compiler which 
make is trying to call here.  Basically there isn't space on the 
distribution disk...

It is available from the Ubuntu repositories via synaptic package 
manager.  Of course, to use that you'll need to get on line...

If you don't have any alternative way of getting on line to pick the 
package up, do post again as I'm sure someone will be able to help out...

(It is possible to download the packages using another system and transfer 
across;  a bit fiddly compared to the package manager, but feasible.)
