You should be running at least Debian Lenny / Ubuntu Hardy Heron (8.04) to have required version of dependencies.

Using prepackaged version

You can use pre-compiled packages build by launchpad PPA service once in a while, if you are running Ubuntu.

Manual installation from sources

Installing dependecies (cut&paste to terminal all together):

sudo aptitude install scons libqt3-mt-dev qt3-dev-tools freeglut3-dev \   
libboost-date-time-dev libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-thread-dev \   
libboost-regex-dev fakeroot dpkg-dev build-essential g++ \

Optionally you might want to install the wildmagic 3 library, which can be used by Lattice Geometrical Model. But is not absolutely necassary (used only for Delaunay mesh generation method in lattice model).

Make sure that you have boost 1.34 or higher
