Errors with gcc

[Seth Dimbert]

I'm going to admit out front that I'm in over my head.

I'm trying to set up an irc offerbot on my home-grown server. I visited
iroffer.com and tried to follow the instructions there. When I run the
./Configure script, here's the output:

Obviously, something's not right. I ran an apt-get install gcc and was told
that gcc is already installed. And... That's about all I could think of to
try.

Can anyone help me out?
