I'm far from an expert on this, but have you installed the beryl-dev
package?  I think it gets built before libberylsettings.  I don't fully (or
even slightly) understand the Beryl build process, but I've seen similar
problems that were solved by going ahead and installing beryl-core, and
perhaps beryl-dev.  Are you sure that the entire build finishes without
errors when you just run make?

Well, I have to say, the SVN Makefile makes building and installing dead
simple.  In fact, I bet the Makefile holds the answers to this problem...

If you really can't figure it out, try the Beryl forums, IRC channel, or bug
tracker.  The devs are quite helpful.
