The first line of the error message tells that the installation script wasn't 
able to find one of the two programs Magick-config or GraphicsMagick-config. 
Going to the Ubuntu packages site (http://packages.ubuntu.com/) and entering 
that name in the search contents of packages field, you'll find that the 
package you need is called libmagick9-dev (note: I don't use 
Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Xubuntu, so I can't test my suggestion.)

I hope this helps
