f this doesn't make any sense to you, just accept the default 'n'.
Build Perl for multiplicity? [n]  
 
Use which C compiler? [cc]  
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find crt1.o: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find crti.o: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lc
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find crtn.o: No such file or directory
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Uh-oh, the C compiler 'cc' doesn't seem to be working.
 
You seem to have a working gcc, though.

Would you like to go ahead and try gcc anyway? [n]

You need to find a working C compiler.
Either (purchase and) install the C compiler supplied by your OS vendor,
or for a free C compiler try http://gcc.gnu.org/
