<pre>sudo apt-get install libdbus-glib-1-dev curl</pre>

<pre>sudo apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev</pre>

The next step, should you choose to install Firefox 3.01+ is to grab [http://developer.mozilla.org/en/Mozilla_Source_Code_(Mercurial) Mercurial] and set it up properly.

* <pre>sudo apt-get install python-setuptools python-dev build-essential </pre>
