No matter where you get Geany from, the following command should pull in what you need to compile the Geany package from source:
$ sudo apt-get build-dep geany
Just tried this on a Ubuntu 9.04 install, trying to build from svn, and the one package it's missing is libtool. Somebody might want to add that one to the build-dep list.
Not really. The libtool package is only necessary when building from svn. The 'apt-get build-dep' command is usually used with release tarballs where libtool is not required. So, you trapped only into some special case :).
To verify, I just downloaded the new and still hot latest Ubuntu release, started the live cd, ran 'apt-get build-dep geany' and then built the Geany 0.16 release tarball and it succeeded. Everything necessary was installed.
In case I'm wrong with anything, Debian/Ubuntu experts might correct me, I'm none of both :).
