Which version of Ubuntu is this?
hivex should be in Ubuntu already, thanks to Hilko Bengen:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/libhivex-dev
The problem with missing hivex/pcre causing libguestfs builds to break
is known:

The problem is that both /bin/bash and libc are completely missing
from the appliance.
During the build, was febootstrap able to download all the packages it
needed?
Which version of febootstrap are you using? (Generally speaking, you
should always try to use a recent version)
Do /bin/bash and /lib/libc.so.* appear in appliance/supermin.d/hostfiles?
Do the paths to the programs / libraries in hostfiles match up with
what is available on the host filesystem?
Have you installed (on the host) all the packages that are listed in
appliance/packagelist?
Is febootstrap downloading packages which match up with the packages
installed on the host? You'll have problems if your apt configuration
is significantly different from what is actually installed on your
host, eg. if 'unstable' packages are installed on the host, but the
unstable repo is disabled in sources.list.
