I thought I'd share the changes I needed in order to build from the current stable5 source in the repo.  I have a Raring Ubuntu distribution, and I tried to install all the necessary libraries.  (Independent of building, I still see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=905638 in chklc.c of stable5, but I've also commented that out in order to proceed.)

Needed updates (diffs below):
  • Pulled missing unwarpGradientNonlinearity.{h,c} files from somewhere in Google's cache
  • Updates to configure.in:
    Bypass gcc 4.4 decision so that libtool is used correctly (Raring has uses 4.7)
    Correct the MNI libraries link order
    Change GL include directory
    Do not create glut Makfile/library (use glut from system)
  • Update several Makefile.am files to use glut from system
  • Configure options that I used:
    --disable-Werror
    --with-mni-dir=/usr
    --with-vxl-dir=/usr
    --with-tcl-include=/usr
    --with-gl-dir=/usr
    --x-libraries=/usr/lib/X11
    --x-includes=/usr/include/X11
