Only after uninstalling vte-0.42.5, I could build it correctly (this should not happen).

On one hand, I keep flipping between 0.42 and 0.44 and haven't seen this happening.

On the other hand, ./configure checks for the presence of vte – I have absolutely no clue why and I guess it shouldn't do it. This could easily be related to your problem.
