The DeaDBeeF player is perhaps not the most straightforward to compile and install but perhaps try the following procedure which worked well enough on my Zesty setup and I am sure with some adjustment would work well enough on other versions of Ubuntu:
Install Build Tools & Dependencies
You will need some build tools as well as some development files to build some of the DeaDBeeF plugins. Run the following single command from a Terminal window:
sudo apt-get install build-essential checkinstall intltool yasm \
libjansson-dev libmpg123-dev libvorbis-dev libflac-dev libwavpack-dev \
libsamplerate0-dev libgtk-3-dev libcdio-dev libcddb2-dev libsndfile1-dev \
libavcodec-dev libavformat-dev libfaad-dev libimlib2-dev libzip-dev \
libjpeg-dev libpng-dev libasound2-dev
Then build DeaDBeeF itself:
Build and Install DeaDBeeF:
Use the following single command to download, compile and install DeaDBeeF:
mkdir $HOME/dead_beef_build && cd $HOME/dead_beef_build && \
wget --no-check-certificate --content-disposition \
http://sourceforge.net/projects/deadbeef/files/deadbeef-0.7.2.tar.bz2/download && \
tar xvf deadbeef-0.7.2.tar.bz2 && \
cd deadbeef-0.7.2 && \
./configure && make && \
sudo checkinstall --pakdir "$HOME/dead_beef_build" --backup=no --deldoc=yes \
--pkgname deadbeef --pkgversion "0.7.2" --fstrans=no \
--deldesc=yes --delspec=yes --default && \
sudo ldconfig
And then DeaDBeeF should be right to go :).

Here is a screenshot of DeaDBeeF running on my Zesty setup, using the above instructions:
And hopefully these detailed instructions will get you on the way as well :).
