Just managed to install kiba dock on my system today. I wanted to see what the hype was all about. I followed this guide on ubuntu-forums.

cd kiba-dock/
./autogen.sh
sudo make install
cd ..
cd kiba-plugins/
./autogen.sh
sudo make install
cd ..
cd kiba-dbus-plugins/
./autogen.sh

Follow this if you have 64 bit
cd akamaru/
./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --exec-prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib64
sudo make install
cd ..
cd kiba-dock/
./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib64
sudo make install
cd ..
cd kiba-plugins/
CC="gcc -fPIC" ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib64
sudo make install
cd ..
cd kiba-dbus-plugins/
./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib64

Now add it to the startup applications
Go to System -> Preferences -> Startup Applications and add.
Name = Kiba Dock
Command = kiba-dock
Troubleshooting:
If you are getting compilation errors, then automake is probably causing problems. You need to gedit configuration.in or configuration.ac and change all the AC_SUBST("$WHATEVER") to AC_SUBST(WHATEVER)
