Just a small part of my retry (could not resists)
After apt-get the list Gareth Bult provided I did:

  ron at ...1693...:~/src/gambas2-1.9.48$ ./reconf
  /usr/share/aclocal/smpeg.m4:13: warning: underquoted definition of AM_PATH_SMPEG
    run info '(automake)Extending aclocal'
    or see http://sources.redhat.com/automake/automake.html#Extending-aclocal

Not sutre what to do with his and followed with:

  ron at ...1693...:~/src/gambas2-1.9.48$ ./configure -C > conf1.ron

  .... lot of test etc
  configure: creating ./config.status
  config.status: creating Makefile
  config.status: creating config.h
  config.status: executing depfiles commands

So good sofar, but the gb.qt.kde is need.

Using adept from the kubuntu distribution and som logic I decided i need kdelibs4-dev

Looks much better now, gb.qte is a special for QT embeded wich I do not have/want.

  mumble mumble, something is working hard :)

??? looks good :)

root at ...1693...:/home/ron/src/gambas2-1.9.48# make install
 All was fine. :)

Stupid me, as root (just for the records)
root at ...1693...:/home/ron/src/gambas2-1.9.48# gambas2

Bingo: thank you Gareth.

The full working log about the process is in the archive file.
Also the logic to determine kdelibs4-dev specific instead of 
the more logical kdebase-devel.

kdebase-bin and kdebase-data should allready be installed by requirements of Kubuntu.
libarts1-dev is a requirement of kdelibs4-dev and not in the list from Gareth 


Conclusion:
For kubuntu the list of Gareth is OK
  Add only a "apt-get install kdelibs4-dev" for 'normal' dependency
  to install the really need headers for kde (this works for me ATM)
or
  Add only a "apt-get install kdebase-dev" for 'super' dependency
  to install the full developer programs and all headers for kde.

kdebase-bin and kdebase-data should allready be installed on kubuntu by requirements of kubuntu.
libarts1-dev is a requirement of kdelibs4-dev and not in the list from Gareth 

Maybe Gareth can have a look to simple merge or make 2 new sets 
I'm less professional for management of this

Happy Ron.
