you need to install the "libatk1.0-dev" package ('sudo apt-get install
libatk1.0-dev') in order to build pcb2gcode -- however, especially if
you're new to linux, i recommend not to compile anything yourself at all
and instead use ready-made packages. those for pcb2gcode are not
available directly in ubuntu, but can be downloaded from my ppa at
http://launchpad.net/~chrysn/+archive/pcb2gcode -- there, you'll find
detailled instructions on how to install software from a ppa.

the packages there were built for ubuntu maverick, but should work for
natty as well.

let me know if there are any problems
