</div>I imagine the quickest way to proceed will be to first run<br>
<br>
apt-get install gcc<br>
<br>
as root.<br>
<br>
However I am a bit confused as to why gcc is being required, as I<br>
don't believe any native code is being compiled. Does autotools just<br>
assume that it will be needed at some point or is it left over from<br>
long ago when there were SUID wrappers?<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Dominic.<br>
