You asked to build against external libraries, but you don't have an
external libwpd that satisfies the requirement of >= libwpd-0.9.

Either 
a) don't build against system libwpd, e.g. --without-system-libwpd
b) bump your system libwpd to >= 0.9

Best thing really, is to do just
$ ./configure
$ make
and don't mess around with the configure options :-)
