Without any options, configure will get you the normal version. To
get the huge version, you'll have to add "--with-features=huge".
You might be missing some packages as well. Try
sudo apt-get build-dep vim
That's all I needed to build the normal version of vim and gvim on
Ubuntu 10.04. I've seen
sudo apt-get build-dep vim-gnome
and
sudo apt-get build-dep vim-gtk
suggested as well, but I don't think I needed either of them.
