Eric,

the requirement that drupal was complaining about to me a few minutes  
ago when I followed the installation URL you supplied above had only  
one item, the php gd library. My package manager describes it as  
php5-gd, do you see this in your repos? It might be worthwhile to use  
apt-get to put it in then rerun the install script
