From experience I have found that the documentation isn't exactly self explanatory. I wrote this article a while ago:

I hope that addresses your question better.

It seems there is a bug in Ubuntu or honeyd that fails the installation via compile and make the honeyd codes, but I finally found a simple way to install honeyd.

Open up the following page and then download your 32bit or 64bit version of honeyd. Now it's expected you'll have a deb file, so you can open this file by Ubuntu software center and inside the USC click on install button. Alternatively you can install that deb file by the Debian Package Manager (dpkg).
