[ale] packages for compiling in Kubuntu

[Barlow, Jim D]

Also, 

Be sure to "sudo apt-get install buld-essential" for the compiler setup
and goodies.   

You will want to install build-dep for your packages if sources are
available.

For example, to build a modern bacula, I did an apt-get build-dep bacula
(though the deb sources are VERY old, this saved time ferreting out the
source dependencies)

Then your downloaded modern sources compile pretty easily.

Have you installed binutils?
