Orca Re: 0.2.4 compiler log error

[Michael Wigle <mike wigle cincyblind org>]

I might be able to help. I ran into that same problem. Unfortunately,
being new I didn't think anyone else would run into it so I didn't write
down what fixed it. However, Ubuntu is missing a few different C
packages by default. You may be missing one of the compiler packages
needed. Just the single gcc 4.0 package isn't enough I don't think. I
found there were a few similar but different packages like cpp as well
that might also be needed. Perhaps someone with more experience can
figure out which package you're missing. But I also was able to
configure and make but then it wouldn't make install for me with that
same error. As a side note, I've found Ubuntu 6 to be more stable and
versatile and work better with Orca than 5 if that's an option for you.
