Don't know if you have this working yet but I had a problem with this and it
was because owfs needs python 2.4 and Ububtu 10.04 comes with python 2.6.
I did this:-

First add the following lines to the >>start<< of /etc/apt/sources.list


deb http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ karmic main restricted universe
multiverse
deb-src http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ karmic main restricted universe
multiverse
deb http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ karmic-updates main restricted
universe multiverse
deb-src http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ karmic-updates main restricted
universe multiverse
deb http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ karmic-backports main restricted
universe multiverse
deb-src http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ karmic-backports main
restricted universe multiverse
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu karmic-security main restricted
universe multiverse
deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu karmic-security main restricted
universe multiverse

then do:
sudo apt-get update
then do:
sudo apt-get install python2.4-dev=2.4.6-1ubuntu3.2.9.10.1

I would then remove or comment out the new lines you just added and run sudo
apt-get update again.

Now run
 ./configure && make && make install and it should work.

Don't forget to edit /etc/fuse.conf  adding the line
user_allow_other
to enable owfs to be run without being root

launch owfs with:
/opt/owfs/bin/owfs --allow_other -C -u -m $HOME/1-wire
          ^                                                   ^
        ^
or your path                                       USB           where your
1-wire directory is.
