Hi Ricardo,
(cc'ing cig-mc)

The first error in your config.log is:

In file included from
/usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.2.4/include/syslimits.h:7,
                 from /usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.2.4/include/limits.h:11,
                 from /usr/include/python2.5/Python.h:18,
                 from src/_namemapper.c:15:
/usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.2.4/include/limits.h:122:61: error:
limits.h: No such file or directory


The error message indicates that your system doesn't have some system
header files (limits.h and others). These header files are not installed
by default, but they are needed when compiling most C programs.

You can install all the requirement of CitcomS using this command:

sudo apt-get install build-essential openmpi-bin openmpi-dev python
python-dev
