That is actually my first Linux test platform.

I wonder if you have some issues with your compiler. The latest version 
tests that you have a working compiler -- download this and try it 
instead.

I am not a Linux expert, I'm afraid. But checking the compiler is the 
first thing -- you are also missing everything else it checks for, 
which sounds suspiciously like a non-working compiler.
