Thanks. The other required development packages were much easier to
find.

Now for the next problem:

gnopernicus/autogen.sh couldn't find either gnome-mag or gnome-speech,
so I decided to compile gnome-speech and install it, in the hope of
using the DECTALK driver.

gnome-speech/autogen.sh yields errors (output included below). I
suspect this may be related to autoconf but I don't have a solution -
I don't know much about autoconf or the design of Gnome. Here is the
full autogen.sh output (better too much than too little in these
circumstances):

Any ideas?
