Depending on the distribution you are using, you can probably find RPM's of 
the development packages you need.  If you are using Mandrake 9.1, the 
packages you need are definitely available (though with Mandrake 9.1 you may 
need to get some of the packages from the "contrib" section of Mandrake 
online).  If you re running Mandrake 9.1 and can not find all the packages, 
send me and email and I can send them to you.
