If you have a look at the above error message, it's clearly seen that
you are missing compilers. Since you are a newbie, here is a foreword.
Every product /software that you try to install, first needs to be
compiled (compiling essentially 'converts' human readeable code into
machine code which a computer can execute immediately) and hence for
almost every package that you get in a tar ball format, you need a
compiler. As suggested by Paul you need to include development tools as
well.
If you need any more help on installing free feel to reply back, I had
successfully installed wine and had run Ms-Excel 2000 and other such
stuff, but don't be in surprise they don't run really well and you need
to do lots of hacking if you wish to get them running.
