Glenn J. Mason (glennji) said : 		#7

Did you install from source, from a repository, or both??

As Rodrigo says, if you install from source the commands should be something like:
./configure
make
sudo make install

It also looks like you don't have build-essential and other stuff.

Note the last "sudo" - you need to be the root user in order to drop library files into place.

If you're installing from repository, make sure to follow the instructions. Some instructions for Gutsy are here:
