So all the other modules build fine? That is weired or are you using
the tarballs of them.

Anyway, what version auf autotools are you using? Please check whether
your system satisfies the depenendecies published at
http://www.dune-project.org/doc/installation-notes.html 

Another solution is to use the pdelab release tarballs
http://www.dune-project.org/pdelab/#ToC10 .

Or switch to cmake branch of the dune-modules
