The config.log error indicates that you do not have a termcap library
installed.  It looks like you configured XEmacs for TTY support, but don't
have any TTY libraries installed on your machine.  Install the ncurses
library or configure without TTY support if you'll always be running in X
Windows.

Also, Ubuntu has prebuilt XEmacs packages for you already, so unless you
want some non-default feature, you don't need to build your own.  Check
http://packages.ubuntu.com/ for packages containing "xemacs".

Let us know if you need any more help.  Regards,
