They should all be listed in the INSTALL file and/or the hackers guide. The idea is that when you get a configure error telling you are missing a package you read the INSTALL file and make sure you have all dependencies before trying to reconfigure again. If some things aren't listed there could you add them?

I would recommend upgrading to a better, faster and free OS :) Cheers, Mark
