node-gyp install error on Ubuntu 12.04

I keep getting this error message when I'm trying follow the directions on https://github.com/rwldrn/johnny-five. I'm trying to install this library for NodeBots day and I'm having problems. I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 on WMware Virtual Machine. I thought it had to do with Arduino serialport lack of detection but I fixed that grey out error.

It seems to be a node-gyp problem. What could it be and what can I do?
