The problem here is most likely using the default system compiler, which
chokes on the broken Ice headers.  This is what causes the Ice/Ice.h not
found error (the diagnostic here is poor--the header does exist, but the
test for it fails because the header is not valid C++, and newer GCC
versions have stricter C++ syntax checking).  If you look with the
verbose logging, you'll probably see that g++ errors out.

If you install g++-4.4 and try building with
   CXX=g++-4.4
you might have a little more success.  Not ideal, but Ice is broken and
that's currently the only option.
