Keep in mind that build-essential will only get you libc6 dev
libraries, gcc and g++ and make.  You'll still need to install
development libs and possibly kernel headers depending on what
software you're trying to compile.  A gnome program, for instance will
most likely need several gnome development libraries in addition to
the basics.
