Taken from Ubuntu 9.10 instructions and updated for Ubuntu 11.10 and Luminance HDR version 2.1.0. Why do you want to install Luminance HDR? Because you’re tired of using the outdated version of Qtpfsgui that is still floating around the Ubuntu repositories and you want to create HDR images like this:
First, you will need to download and save the source files found in the Luminance HDR repository on SourceForge. For this tutorial, I am using Luminance HDR version 2.1.0 and the source file is named luminance-hdr-2.1.0.tar.gz.
Then, you will need to uncompress the files you have downloaded and save them to a folder on your computer.
After this, you need to fire up the command prompt and ensure your system has the required dependencies. This is where things change slightly between these new instructions and the older ones I found. Specifically, you will also need to install libraw-dev. You must run the following command to install the dependencies:
sudo apt-get install qt4-qmake libexiv2-dev libopenexr-dev fftw3-dev libtiff4-dev libqt4-dev g++ libgsl0-dev libraw-dev
Once the dependencies have been installed, you need to navigate the command prompt to the folder containing the source files. From this folder you need to run the following command:
qmake
make
sudo make install
This installs the program to /usr/local/bin and after a quick reboot, Luminance HDR will be listed in the Ubuntu Dash Home. You can either search for the program by typing the name or find it in the Applications menu when filtered by Type > Graphics.

This gives error while using “make”. After a little research I found that it was basically because the ubuntu’s version of libraw was old. Everything worked fine once I installed the latest version of libraw from the source.

Did you just install libraw from source or the header files as well?
