The 'build-essential' meta-package is a great start. Next you will want
many -dev packages. If you needed the Python galago development files
than you'd install:
python-galago-dev - Galago presence library (Python interface)
apt-get install python-galago-dev
and similar for what ever you './configure' script spits out.
So 'apt-cache search xyz |grep dev' would be a way to look for dev
packages which have xyz in them.
