Check the list of required built tools here https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia#required-build-tools-and-external-libraries if you want to build from source. Note that unless you're contributing to Julia development, you should build from the release-0.3 stable branch.
You shouldn't have to build from source though, have you tried the generic Linux binaries from http://julialang.org/downloads/ ? Download and extract https://julialang.s3.amazonaws.com/bin/linux/x64/0.3/julia-0.3.9-linux-x86_64.tar.gz and it should work right away.
