I'd say you might be missing one of the packages listed on the
line Depends:  At a guess check and see if you have xlib6g installed.
That sounds to be a likely candidate.  Though if you installed blackbox
via one of the "usual" methods the system should have installed any 
packages that are depended on.  Are you by chance doing an install from
a tar.gz or maybe even compiling from source?
