I've installed the following debian packages
aptitude install build-essential mercurial gawk zlib1g-dev libx11-dev
gettext libssl-dev libncurses5-dev python-dev texinfo
you should add bcc and bin86 if you want to use full virtualization (HVM).
$ cd /usr/include/gnu
$ ln -s stubs-64.h stubs-32.h
$ gzip -dc xen-3.3.1.tar.gz | tar xvf -
$ cd xen-3.3.1
$ make dist
$ make install
The symlink on stubs-64.h is a workaround for a bug in libc6-i386, you
have to do it if you want to complete the compilation process.
The make dist step automatically download the 2.6.18 kernel source
from mercurial and several packages so you have to be online.
hope that helps
