Ubuntu system:
gtkglext-dev pango-dev atk-dev cairo-dev boost-dev glib-dev streamer-dev
ffmpeg-dev were all "E: Couldn't find package:"
Yes, some of the Debian names in the 0.7.2 manual are wrong; they should be correct in the CVShead manual. For Ubuntu (==Debian), the build system needs:
apt-get install build-essential # Compiler, make etc
apt-get install automake # also gets autoconf
apt-get install libtool
apt-get install libltdl3-dev libcurl3-dev
Gnash always needs:apt-get install libboost-thread-dev # also fetches libboost-dev
apt-get install libpng12-dev
apt-get install libjpeg62-dev # libjpeg-dev work too
And depending on which renderer/gui you select:
GUI Render Packages
opengl gtk libgtkglext1-dev
opengl sdl libsdl1.2-dev libpango1.0-dev
cairo gtk libgtk2.0-dev # libgtk always includes cairo
cairo sdl libcairo2-dev libsdl1.2-dev
cairo fltk libcairo2-dev and install fltk2 from cvs source code
agg gtk libagg-dev libgtk2.0-dev
agg sdl libagg-dev libsdl1.2-dev
agg fltk libagg-dev and install fltk2 from cvs source code
agg fb libagg-dev
(but note that all fltk builds are currently missing/broken/disabled)
