Actually, I'm quite sure it is unable to do so (at least every version 
I've tried, which doesn't include 7.04). IIRC the reasoning is that 
"normal users" don't need to compile stuff, so they're one of the few 
Linux distributions (AFAIK) that don't install a full build environment 
by default.
If you haven't installed build-essential (or at least the relevant 
packages on which it depends) I suggest you try that.
