libplot - the package the provides this is called plotutils.

pkg-config and libglade
What you have looks correct. These are required for the GUI insterface, which also requires GTK2.0 which will require the X windows system.

libncurses5, libreadline, and texinfo seem fine, as well.

I believe the libhistory library is included with libreadline.
