libXext

configure: error: We need a working libXext to proceed. Since configure
can't find it itself, we stop here assuming that make wouldn't find
them either.

The package you need to install is named something like xorg-x11-devel or libxorg-x11-devel (or xorg-x11-dev or libxorg-x11-dev) . The best thing is to search for "xorg" using Synaptic (the gui package manager for Ubuntu) and install the dev packages.
