You just need to understand the error messages and install the missing 
packages and libraries for the compile to work successfully. Also consider 
installing the basic build/compiling utilities:

$ sudo apt-get install built-essential

Now try again.

Hey Martin.

It seems these styles would be suited for KDE, and what you are suggesting is 
that the art team makes a universe KDE artwork package which may be 
downloaded and installed. Included would be several window decorations, 
themes/styles, splash screens, icon sets, wallpapers and so forth.

This is something the art team has considered to do, at least for Ubuntu (thus 
GNOME).

I will take your suggestion forth into the General Art Team Meeting set very 
soon (actually within the next three days if I remember correctly). Oliver 
Grawert, who does packaging has already given the ok for a general Ubuntu 
(GNOME) art package for the universe repositories. I am sure he and Jonathan 
Riddell would have nothing against a universe kubuntu art package as well. :)

Actually why don't you join us for the General Art Team Meeting? It is being 
held in #ubuntu-meeting and the date is currently being voted upon:

This will allow you to personally forward your ideas and allow us to consider 
them and probably, but the looks of things, implement them. :)


Cheers and enjoy the festive season,
Pascal Klein
