[rt-users] RT 4.0.8 on Ubuntu 12.04 release config error help

[testwreq wreq]

I am following installation instructions from the README:
http://bestpractical.com/rt/docs/latest/README.html

RT configure command failed with the following error on my new ubuntu
install. I will appreciate if anyone can advise a way to proceed further?
What is the fix for this error?
