Hey Eduardo,

Make sure that you have libc6-dev package installed. On Debian,
all paths should match automatically, and the compiler should be
looking into /usr/include/ as you expect.

I'll try this myself tomorrow, and will be able to help you more
with it, if you don't get it working by then.

"Run builds" simply means to build (compile) bonddb and bond by
invoking 'scons', like you did.
