Okay. So, I installed gcc, using apt-get, then tried again. Then, got the same error regarding make. So, I installed make, then tried again, and got two further errors. See log file below. And, some may wonder why I prefer software (like hardware drivers) that can be installed using a package manager that takes care of all such problems...

If you know what you are doing you can either ignore the CC version check and continue installation, or abort installation, set the CC environment variable to the name of the compiler used to compile your kernel, and restart installation.
