It looks like you are missing a lot of development build stuff, like the GCC C++ compiler. Have you done "sudo apt-get install build-essentials"?

Thanks for your reply.

I have not tried "sudo apt-get install build-essentials".

But after posting this question i tried, and luckily i succeed, i just go into maq directory and apllied

> sudo apt-get install maq (for ubuntu 9.10)

and it did the work.

Thanks.

Using "sudo apt-get install maq" is much easier, but check to see if the version you get from the Ubuntu/Debian repository is up to date. To get the very latest version you may need to compile it from source (or fetch from another repository, e.g. Debian testing).
