Dear Sir
 
I failed to install yade in my computer.  
 
When I try install directly using the Ubuntu software centre, details of the failure information is as follows:

I had tried several days with several methods even tried to build from the source code but unsuccessful (see config.log).   
 
Would you mind help me identify what's wrong and give me instructions how to install the yade correctly?
 
My computer system is Ubuntu 10.04(lucid), Hardware: Memory 1.9GB, CPU Intel P4 3.2GHz*2
 
 
Thanks
 
Li
