Problem with configuring build

[Artur Dorda]

Hello again,

I've managed to do this.

What was the issue? I was trying to install a 'precise' (current
Ubuntu version) version of this package, liborbit2, but there was also
'precise-updates' version... And that was the right one :) Probably it
was broken in 'precise' release and they improved it.

Problem solved, however thanks for help :)

Best regards,
Artur
