It looks to me like you don't have a proper build environment (including
a C++ compiler) installed. You can get what you need by installing the
build-essential package.

Alternatively, I've been working on setting up an Ubuntu PPA (personal
package archive) that contains Frescobaldi. While I have been told that
Frescobaldi will likely be included in Ubuntu Jaunty, I'm planning to
always have the most recent version available in this archive. I also
provide the latest version of LilyPond (currently 2.12.1 - I haven't
been able to get a 2.12.2 package to compile because of documentation
issues that I believe are fixed in git), since LilyPond releases occur
much more frequently than Ubuntu ones.

You can access the PPA by going to the following address:

https://launchpad.net/~csnyder/+archive/ppa

That page also gives instructions for adding it to your sources.list.

If anyone does use this archive, I'd appreciate feedback. Thanks.
