Hi,

I downloaded usb-modeswitch-1.1.2.tar.bz2 and extracted it. Then I used the command
>> sudo make install
inside the extracted folder.

I am getting the following really long list of errors and warnings. I am a linux newbie and I am not able to make any sense out of the errors and warnings. Can somebody please help me? I have pasted the log below.

Your system is missing some important development components.

If you want the easy way, just install the latest Debian packages. There is no reason why they should be incompatible with your Ubuntu.

If you want to get the compiler running, use your package manager to install "glibc-dev" and "libusb-dev" (names might vary). Afterwards the errors should be gone because the header files (ending with .h) are found in the right places (mostly "include" and subfolders).
