To be honest I know just enough to be able to figure out which packages were missing when I tried to compile it, based on the instructions in the comments, and added those in.
I haven't had much cause to experiment with apt-get, so I wasn't aware of those commands. Using apt-get to get the source and build dependencies looks like a much better idea, one I'll remember for future!
