I assume that you can get the latest sources with no problem. For the rest of "building (g)vim", have a look at my HowTo page for Linux, http://users.skynet.be/antoine.mechelynck/vim/compunix.htm I suspect that you lack one or more "development" packages needed to compile the Vim GUI. Myself, I am on openSUSE, but I have been told that on Debian-like distributions, including Ubuntu, the command "su apt-get build-dep vim-gui" or similar (replacing the last word, here vim-gui, by the name of the precompiled gvim package offered by your distribution) gives good results.
