 On my recently created ubuntu server edition 9.04 install, I just followed
 the directions on "Installing Tahoe" found here:

 ~~http://allmydata.org/source/tahoe/trunk/docs/install.html~~

 http://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/browser/trunk/docs/quickstart.rst

 Running "python setup.py build" ends with with:
 distutils.errors.DistutilsError: Setup script exited with error: command
 'gcc' failed with exit status 1


 Add brief mention of a C compiler requirement to "Installing Tahoe" (or
 perhaps the "~~InstallDetails~~" "AdvancedInstall" wiki page).

Comment (by davidsarah):

 AdvancedInstall says: "Several of these [third-party libraries] use
 compiled C code, so they do require a compile step."
