You need the *-devel version of those packages (they provide include files in
particular).
I think it is something like libdevmapper-devel.
Note that the "dev" stands for "device", while the "devel"
stands for "development files".
You may get few other errors like this one, don't forget to install *-devel versions
of the packages that they complain about.
Frederic.
On Fedora development packages end in -devel. On Debian/Ubuntu
development packages end in -dev. The necessary package for Ubuntu is
called:
libdevmapper-dev
