You are missing the libxt-dev package.
But, why do you want to build DDD yourself? If you simply want to use it
to debug LilyPond, you can just install it from the repository. A lot
easier, and will save you a lot of headache in the future.
Also, is there a particular reason to prefer DDD for C++ debugging? I
find Eclipse CDT a lot better in any thinkable respect. (But then again,
I am biased, being one of the founders of the Eclipse project).
The CG at
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.13/Documentation/contributor/debugging-c_002b_002b-code
says "As an alternative to running gdb at the command line you may try a
graphical interface to gdb such as ddd: " so I just did that. I knew
nothing about package managers until Graham replied. Following that
information, I'm now happily watching a debug window :-)
