It sounds to me like you did something wrong with the etch install.
Etch AMD64 most certainly has gnome and KDE.
As for compiling things, the first thing you should install if you want
to compile things is build-essential. It is a meta-package that will
pull in most of the tools you need.
aptitude (or apt-get) install build-essential
(Ok, you experts, this is us "user-friendly" way so don't yell at me for
not telling him to get each package individually)
