Ack! This doesn't 'apt get' *all* the dependencies, correct? You've
already got a GTK and build environment installed, correct? Chromebook
Linux starts with a base environment that we have to install all the
dependencies by hand and use up limited space on the memory hard drive.
Suggestions on what to install w/o installing everything?
