First grab the build-essential package:

$ sodo aptitude install build-essential

Then you should get automake

$ sudo aptitude install automake

And you'll need libz.

sudo aptitude install zlib1g-dev

Is the program you're trying to build a Ubuntu package? then you can
build the source and get all the necessary compile dependencies all at
once:

apt-get build-dep <package>
apt-get -b source <package>
