Hmm. Maybe try --enable-checking=yes? That's what I have. Though I'm not
sure if this has anything to do with it.

Hmm. Try apt-get install libppl0.11-dev, maybe? That's where that file
should be. AFAIK apt-get build-dep should've pulled that one in, but
just in case it didn't, this may help.

OK, AFAIK this should be enough. But anyway, seems you've gotten a
little farther now, so maybe it was the apt-get build-dep that was
missing.

Try installing libppl0.11-dev (or if that exact version isn't there,
search for libppl*-dev in the Ubuntu archive) and see if that prods it
along a bit more.
