If it helps, the build automation script checks for the following
commands:

svn
autoconf
automake
gcc
g++
xsltproc

Also required are LWP::UserAgent (from Perl's libwww), OpenSSL headers
and zlib headers.

Somewhere I had a file which told me which packages to use on Debian and
CentOS but I can't find it at the moment. Hopefully this list should
help though.
