Indeed.  The gcc version can make a big difference.

What distribution (Linux or BSD distribution, OSX or Windows version, 
etc), too.

I'm guessing it's installed, but if he's running a binary distribution, 
he may be missing one or more -devel packages, which contain the header 
files, etc.  It's also possible they are installed but the scripts aren't 
finding them properly and will need pointed at where to look.
