Nothing specific to Ubuntu here. 

The rimage package simply does not build under g++ 4.3 as constructors like

   m = new vector< vector <double> >(x, y);

are not supported -- ie you cannot pass the (x,y) size information.  Looks
like that worked in the past.

However, you do get 

   m = new vector< vector <double> >;

though and could explicitly resize the matrix (ie once for rows and then in a
loop for each column).  May require some testing though.
