Yeah, it's a known problem. There was a bug report about it in Malone,
but somehow I can't seem to find it anymore ?!
But basically, the problem is that as the message suggests, there are
two missing dependencies. The first one is available in the Ubuntu
repositories, but the second one is not  :-/
In the bug report, we were given a link to download the required
package, and that worked. So presumably, that package will be added to
the Gutsy repo for the next Ubuntu release.

But, to be honest, I was disappointed by how 3D looked. It's not
as cool as I thought it would, so I now prefer the 2D display...
