Although you can just do apt-get install vips on Ubuntu - sometimes you need a development version etc. A fresh install of Ubuntu does not have a lot of development packages installed. A useful thing to do is:

sudo apt-get install build-essential libxml2-dev libfftw3-dev gettext libgtk2.0-dev

now you can build the vips tarball:

./configure
./make
sudo make install

Now you need to set up your environment or the things in /usr/local/ won't be found This can be added to the end of your .bashrc in your home area:

export VIPSHOME=/usr/local
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$VIPSHOME/lib
export PATH=$PATH:$VIPSHOME/bin
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:$VIPSHOME/lib/pkgconfig
export MANPATH=$MANPATH:$VIPSHOME/man
