Debian Lenny has packages for the fuse libs (2.7.4-1.1). djmount configured, 
compiled, installed and works for me, though I haven't played around with it 
all that much. This is on a non-Myth machine.

I'd think that if it builds on Debian it should work on Ubuntu.

Did you install the fuse libs (dev files)? Looks like they are missing, or 
configure can't find them. Maybe Ubuntu puts them in an odd place?
