Installing Matrix 3.26 dependencies on Ubuntu 9.10

I know, I know, 10.04 is only days away.  But I feel bad I haven't updated the install instructions in so long.  I don't have a lot of time, but here are a few lines you can run on a clean install of Ubuntu Server 9.10 (I used F4 to install a minimal server from the bootup screen) to get all the dependencies in place.

Once the deps are in place, you can use the post-dependency instructions for the 8.10 install to get Matrix up and running.

I've tested this, it works with 3.26.3 (latest stable).  I've annotated command lines with a starting '#' so you don't get confused by word wrap on the blog.  You should be able to just copy and paste if you're logged in as root.  There's one line which starts with //, that's a comment on what to change in vi.

Here goes, enjoy ;)
