Most distributions split their library packages in a runtime, and a devel
part, so runtime and compile-time dependencies are different indeed. You
need the devel packages only to build Glame. The user has to install
the runtime packages. Furthermore, build dependencies vary with the features
you want to compile into your package. E.g. you can compile without gtk and
gnome libs, but your package will lack the graphical frontend in this case.

Glame currently requires on the following libraries:

* libguile
* libxml2 or libxml1

We also recommend:

* libaudiofile
* libfftw

The graphical interface furthermore needs:

* libgnome

To build the texinfo documentation, you'll need:

* texinfo
* tetex

You might also want:

* libasound1 (either version 0.5.x or 0.9.x) for the ALSA plugins
* libesd for the ESD plugins

Note that each of the packages might itself depend on a rats tail of further
packages. (Can anyone spell Gnome?) Have a look at the glame.spec, and the
debian/ directory in the source distribution for further hints.
