You might also want:

sudo apt-get install build-essential

You can cheat and fetch a load of the relevant dependencies for gEDA
1.4.0 which comes with Ubuntu, with:

apt-get build-dep libgeda

They should mostly be the same deps as for the git HEAD version, give-or
take guile versions. (Just checked on my box, /usr/bin/gschem links
against guile 1.8, and I "think" its the Ubuntu version I have
in /usr/bin).


BTW.. worth updating your git checkout again now, as several useful
bug-fixes have just gone in.
