Here is the list of packages you'll need to install to get BlitzMax working on Ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy Badger).

A) To get the IDE running:

Extract blitzmax tarball to your home directory

Install the following package (+ = will be auto installed as a result of dependency)
----------------------------------------------------
Libstdc++5
+gcc-3.3-base

B) To compile programs

Install the following packages (+ = will be auto installed as a result of dependency)
----------------------------------------------------
g++-3.3
+binutils
+cpp-3.3
+gcc-3.3
+libc6-dev
+libstdc++5.3.3-dev (may want 6)
+linux-headers

libasound2-dev

libglu1-mesa-dev

+libx11-dev

x11proto-core-dev

You will also need to get your Nvidia or ATI card working with hardware acceleration for best results. I'd recommend the Ubuntu site for more info on this
