Hi Baris,

I had exactly the same problem with Ubuntu 11.10 and it appears that for 
some reason moz doesn't build on Ubuntu. This was reported on this list 
in October: 
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice/2011-October/019597.html

Now considering that moz is used for macro security settings and digital 
signatures, it's not essential to build it in order to have a working 
build. You can disable it as explained here: 
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Native_Build#Disable_mozilla

In my case for instance, I run the following to get it to build:
./autogen.sh --with-num-cpus=4 --disable-mozilla

Happy building!

Bruno
