Subject: Installing Ruby on Linux - Error

I'm new to Linux, so it may well be that I'm missing some trivial.

However, I have Ubuntu installed on my Laptop, and I downloaded the
Source for Ruby (ruby-1.8.5-p12), copied it across to my laptop (My
laptop does NOT have internet access, so I can't just apt-get,
unfortunately), and tried the following:

./configure

It starts working, then right after "checking for C compiler default
ouput file name...", I get this:

"configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables"

Can anyone help me out with this one?
