The basic postscript driver requires no extra libraries at all. In any
case, you should not get an error from cmake due to missing driver
dependencies. If a library is missing, the driver will be disabled.

If you want to use the psttf driver, which has better font handling
using truetype fonts, then you will introduce extra dependencies. You
will need freetype, pango and lasi, as well as suitable fonts.

Clearly something else must be going on. Please post your cmake command
and any output from cmake, including the error message.

Also, can you provide details of the version of Linux this is occuring
on. Does exactly the same thing happen under whichever version of Unix
you are using?
