I just bought a new Ubuntu Laptop so that I could tryout and hopefully
offer support for a few of my favorite pgfoundry projects.
Would anyone be able to give any dirction on what I need to do to get
passed this error?

My first attempt with building from source ended with the following:

Viewing the config.log shows the following error:
