   Sure, all of those with "-dev" removed, except libtool. You can   
   probably use whatever version of the gnutls package for your distro   
   is the latest.   
      
   readline, libunistring, gnutls, tcp_wrappers, libltdl, libgsasl   
      
   Although you can build it without some of those, such as libgsasl   
   as mentioned before. Of course exact package names will differ   
   between distros, especially with the "lib" prefixes.   
      
   "ldd `which movemail`" is a quick way to see all the libraries   
   used by the executable, however it will show additional libraries   
   used by the direct dependenies, without distinction. Another way   
   is using "readelf -d `which movemail` | grep NEEDED", which just   
   gives you the immediate dependencies, but then in this case you   
   get a bunch of "libmu_*" Mailutils libraries which then also need   
   to be checked with "ldd" or "readelf", and that gets confusing.   
   Also those tools won't show any libraries or executables that are   
   loaded after the program has started. Then you have to work out   
   which packages the libraries belong to, for which the method is   
   specific to your distro or package format.   
      
   Anyway in this case you can just go from the list I gave you above.
