Last I checked there were about 1000 Linux distros and with ltib not
being associated with any particular one, it is near impossible to
list even a fraction of the variations of core/dev/version of the
packages.  There are many that are not even apt/dpkg/deb based.   Feel
free to post a list for your distro and version so others may benefit.

Some of the packages, which you may or may not have selected, could
have their own requirements which the top level ltib will not be
aware.

It is daunting to get ltib going the first time (something I'd like to
make easy also), but the only solution I have: know your distro.  It
is a tool in itself.  I made a pre-req list for my co-workers since we
usually run the same distro/release:

Unbuntu about 12.04:
install
patch
g++
rpm
zlib1g-dev
m4
bison
libncurses5-dev
libglib2.0-dev
gettext
build-essential
tcl
intltool
libxml2-dev
liborbit2-dev
libx11-dev
ccache
flex
uuid-dev
liblzo2-dev
libglib2.0-dev

If 64-bit host install:

ia32-libs
gcc-multilib
lib32g++
set the correct symlink for libs if it does not exist.
sudo ln -s /usr/lib32/libstdc++.so.6 /usr/lib32/libstdc++.so


Sorry, can't help on the flex.
