Apparently you do not have the gcc compiler. It is best to run 'aptitude
install build-essential' to pull it and other basic packages for program
compilation.
However, the module you want seems to be packaged for Debian (as are a
lot of other Perl modules). Install it with 'aptitude install
libstring-random-perl' and it should be done.
