In addition to the 2.1.x dependencies you need GLPK and UFSPARSE. You 
might also like to install METIS prior to UFSPARSE to get a faster 
sparse cholesky factorization, though there are licensing issues with 
that... I can send source RPMs of UFSPARSE and METIS, though as they are 
lareg I prefer to do that offline. Tell me if you want them.
