Sounds like you didn't install the development tools required to access the 
CVS repository, I suspect you may have also missed out installing gcc and 
friends. A couple of commands to execute from the command line:

  sudo apt-cdrom
  sudo apt-get install cvs rtai-dev-2.6.12.6-rtai

The first command should prompt you to insert the BDI-4.38 CD which will then 
be scanned for any package lists. The second command uses this list to locate 
the rtai-dev package, resolve any dependencies and then install everything 
that is required. It is possible that you will need additional dev. packages 
to compile emc2 - For the full list, I would suggest consulting the relevant 
pages over at http://wiki.linuxcnc.org.

Regards, Paul.
