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 The version packaged in Natty is already 10 versions out of date and won't be updated until Natty+1.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.
The whole reason I want to build it is because it isn't using the kdetheme, and I was told the only way to fix that would be to build it myself and I was using the binary install. I have tried downloading the source and doing sudo python setup.py install as well as sudo python setup.py develop and both fail when trying to load ImageMagick.
