You've got a C compiler, but no libc6-dev package. If you install the
build-essential package, it'll install that, plus a few other packages
that will be needed.

You'll probably also need other -dev packages for assorted libraries
that your program uses. Hopefully it comes with a README or other file
telling you what it depends on.
