Do not try to compile an unknown package if you are not familiar with it, and its dependencies. Also make sure that you have read the INSTALL doc to make sure that you have passed the correct parameters to the configure script.

Kaffeine compilation needs an existing installation of Xine on your system. Also you need to have ***-dev packages installed.

give $ ./configure --help to see what parameters you have to pass to configure script.

After trying "./configure --help" ... check for the line which allows you to specify the location of the X include files, and then specify /usr/X11/include as the location, and see if it compiles. Of course, you need to have X Windows installed ;)

And as GNURag said, make sure all the dependencies required by Kaffeine are present on your system.
