   So what's in config.log???
   I was able to follow the howto: Ubuntu 10.04 successfully on my 
Ubuntustudio system.  I tend to use some of the meta-packages to make sure 
the entire build environment is there.  Try this - if the pieces are 
already there, it won't hurt, but it may pull in the missing piece or two:

`sudo apt-get install build-essential make automake`
