I chose libgnutls-dev, however it wasn't the right version. You should 
check your config.log. Here is what I found in mine:
configure:7817: checking for GNUTLS
configure:7824: $PKG_CONFIG --exists --print-errors "gnutls >= 
$GNUTLS_REQUIRED"
Requested 'gnutls >= 2.12.10' but version of GnuTLS is 2.10.5
You may find new versions of GnuTLS at http://www.gnu.org/software/gnutls/
This is with the latest Ubuntu. So one way to solve the problem is to 
build libgnutls yourself, but I have not (yet) attempted that. Maybe 
Ubuntu 12.04 LTS will have a newer libgnutls.

For me, also IBM 360, but PL/1. Learned it in a class called 
Computational Linguistics.

Mine was a Z-80 with only 1 8" floppy drive and no HD. But it did have a 
full 64K (at the time I had no idea how I would ever really need that 
much RAM).
