This worked for me on Ubuntu 8.04:

$ sudo apt-get install build-essential libncursesw5-dev libreadline5-dev libssl-dev libgdbm-dev libbz2-dev libc6-dev libsqlite3-dev tk-dev g++ gcc

Solution for _dbm
$ wget -c http://bugs.python.org/file12234/dbm.diff
$ patch -p0 < dbm.diff

$ sudo apt-get build-dep python2.5
$ make
$ sudo make install
