[ubuntu-za] Need urgent help with m5 simulator for ubuntu12.04?

[Graeme Donaldson]

To expand on what Wesley has said, on Ubuntu you need the "build-essential"
package which includes various tools for building software from source code.

In a terminal:

sudo apt-get install build-essential

This may not solve it completely, you may run into more errors if you need
specific development libraries, but for now install build-essential, try
again and report back to us .
