I am not familiar with the 'TasteOfDT/public/freeware' site.
However, a quick glance at it suggests that all the packages on in a
rather out of date.  So it may not be the best place to start your
search.   You have two choices.

1) find a site with more coherent set of packages for irix.
2) Build from source

(1) would be the prefered solution so I'll make a stab at listing
all the packages (direct & indirect).  Some may not be needed for
version 0.54.  However the current and future versions will need
them so I might as will list it for the archive.

glib
imlib
gtk
gnome-xml
ORBit
gnome-libs
libglade
ghostscript
gnome-print
gnumeric

gnome-core              (for reading docs)
control-center          (for reading docs)
libunicode.gnome        (future version)
libole2                 (future version)
gal                     (future version)
gdk-pixbuf              (future version)

Hopefully that will be enought to get you up and running.  A quick
warning that 0.54 is 6 months old.  It has known bugs and
limitations.

Good Luck
