So do:

# apt-cache search xf86vm
libxxf86vm-dev - X11 XFree86 video mode extension library 
(development headers)
libxxf86vm1 - X11 XFree86 video mode extension library
libxxf86vm1-dbg - X11 XFree86 video mode extension library (debug 
package)

Look for the dev package, then do:

# apt-get install libxxf86vm-dev

Then try the compile again.  And so on.

In order to get Mesa to build on Feisty, I needed the following 
installs:

# apt-get install libxxf86vm-dev
# apt-get install libxfixes-dev
# apt-get install libxdamage-dev
# apt-get install libexpat1-dev
# apt-get install g++

You will probably need different ones.
