In Debian, you can use the following command line to get the above packages (I don't know if Ubuntu has the same packages but you can try :) $ apt-get install gcc g++ gcj perl python gnome-devel mysql php5 eclipse If you need other development libraries, you can search for a library's development package equivalent using "apt-cache search <library> | grep dev". Python libraries start with 'python-', perl libraries ends with '-perl', and most libraries are prefixed with 'lib' so it's easy enough to grep these things. YMMV if you are using Synaptic.
