Inside the tar.gz file there is a file 'README' which contains an
overview of what other packages and versions are required to
compile.

If you are unfamiliar with developing with the GNU/Linux framework I
would recommend AGAINST trying to update all of the requirements
yourself.  It is possible, but would require a fair amount of
technical expertise before you could get to what you can update
Gnumeric.  A better starting point would probably be to use a set of
pre-compiled packages.  Depending on which distribution of Linux you
are using you could probably download some from the distribution
home or from ximian.com.

Good Luck
