Hi and welcome to Barry,

My guess is that you have some old 0.14 files still lying around, and
when compiling the GUI it is getting the wrong headers.

I just tried compiling the latest git master branch on Ubuntu 8.04, and
it worked for me, so I suspect it is something out of place on your system.

If you plan on joining the testing or development effort, I'd recommend
you join the mailing list.  Posting without joining is fine, but you risk
not getting replies if people forget to CC you. :-)

Let me know if you still have compile errors.

Thanks,
