On an Ubuntu(or debian box) there's a nice little tool to make this easier.

sudo apt-get build-dep qgis

That will grab all the build dependencies for qgis all at once and
automatically. This of course assumes that you have a recent version of
qgis available to you via the repositories and for that I suggest you
add the ubuntugis repo to your list.
