Added a list of possible ctag program names, and loop over them looking for
one that works.
Added more helpful error messages, such as detecting the Emacs version of
ctags to explain what might be wrong.

it was necessary to simply change :
(defcustom semantic-ectag-program "ctags" ...
to :
(defcustom semantic-ectag-program "ctags-exuberant" ...
in semantic-ectag-util.el and run "make" again. for me in debian it works
=)
