hi Tinne,

Looks like there's something wrong with your distcc setup.  Try
running distcc directly on a simple C file; I expect that you'll see
an error of some sort.  Once you've worked that out, try the ROS build
again.

Btw, because you're running Ubuntu, you might want to install cturtle
from binary packages:

.
