Other answers have given you the proper way to quickly get all the
build dependencies.  In order to see what modules you won't have
available, look at the output near the end of the 'make' command (it's
very quickly buried by `make altinstall`, so be sure to do those as
separate commands :)).  Most of the extension modules are built by
setup.py, which gives a report at the end of its run about which
modules it couldn't find dependencies for, which modules couldn't be
built, and which modules built but couldn't be imported.
