make sure that you have the package 'gcc' installed. If gcc is

Have you done this?
Start with:
# aptitude search gcc
and if necessary
# aptitude install gcc
If you already have gcc, then check your PATH as suggested.

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...

The compiler used to compile the kernel (gcc 4.3) does not exactly

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. (Answer: Ignore CC version check)

I do not know why the hardware manufacturers make getting their
hardware operational, so difficult.
