Uhm, all the required packages are in the ubuntu repositories. They're the -dev
packages, which are not installed by default.

We are not impressed that you didn't ask for help before trying things which
are not advisable.

Chances are you did mess up your system. Generally you should not mix source
installations with package installations, and my guess is you did not uninstall
these Ubuntu packages before you ran 'make install', right?
