For one, you need to configure the LO SDK before using it, by running 
its setsdkenv_unix.sh, see 
<http://api.libreoffice.org/docs/install.html>).  Did you do that?  If 
not, that is maybe also the reason why the Ubuntu-provided LO SDK does 
not work for you.

For another, a LO SDK should always be used in combination with a 
matching LO installation.  It is unwise and unsupported to use a LO SDK 
downloaded from libreoffice.org together with a Ubuntu-provided LO 
installation.
