OK, you do not need to install all the libraries you are doing, in fact 
this is probably why you are getting the problems you are. The libraries 
are part of samba and as such only need installing if you are also 
installing the rest of samba, if you build samba, the libraries will 
also be built.

If you did read the wiki page on building samba as an AD DC, you would 
be re-directed to a page here:

https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/OS_Requirements#Debian_.2F_Ubuntu

This page will give you a list of packages to install before building samba:


        Debian / Ubuntu

# apt-get install acl attr autoconf bison build-essential \
   debhelper dnsutils docbook-xml docbook-xsl flex gdb krb5-user \
   libacl1-dev libaio-dev libattr1-dev libblkid-dev libbsd-dev \
   libcap-dev libcups2-dev libgnutls-dev libjson-perl \
   libldap2-dev libncurses5-dev libpam0g-dev libparse-yapp-perl \
   libpopt-dev libreadline-dev perl perl-modules pkg-config \
   python-all-dev python-dev python-dnspython python-novaclient \
   xsltproc zlib1g-dev


This list is slightly out of date, libgnutls-dev has been replaced with 
libgnutls28-dev on debian Jessie.

The instructions to build samba are all on the wiki, I suggest you 
follow them:
