It's going to look the same. Calibre's GUI uses Qt and building from source isn't going to change how it looks. It should be using your KDE theme. How do you have it installed? Ubuntu package or binary installer?

Both of which are unnecessary. Calibre uses it's own bindings and works directly with the shared library. You need to install libmagickwand-dev.

If you're not using the binary install use that as will give you the latest version. The version packaged in Natty is already 10 versions out of date and won't be updated until Natty+1.

I would also recommend against building from source see http://calibre-ebook.com/user_manual...nt-environment for running from source using an existing calibre install. You are going to run into quite a few issues with Ubuntu (and it's variants) most people do. It is also not a distribution we provide support for because the vast majority of Linux related issues are Ubuntu doing something stupid.
