I'll also toss in that this is likely an Ubuntu packaging error and you should contact the package maintainer to see about fixing it.
A quick work around, if you do the recompile use the checkinstall option. A side benefit will be a .deb file that you can give to other people with the same setup. It's not guaranteed to work on everyone else's machines with 8.04 but for the same processor (say i386 installs) it usually does. 2nd, tell us which module is missing, maybe there's another library that needs to be installed with apt-get.
