The git package from the Ubuntu repository should have sufficed.

Did you install fdk-aac as shown in the guide you linked to? If you do
not need it then remove "--enable-libfdk-aac" from your configure. You
do not need to install all of the external libraries the guide includes
but only the ones that you need.
