Hi,
I think some gentle guidance to the VO might be appropriate here.
The more extra packages they ask for, the less likely anyone is to support them.
At least at Imperial when faced with such a list, the short answer is
'no way', the longer answer is to work out which packagaes are
*actually* needed and then if they are reasonably simply to obtain to
install them.
Cheers,
Daniela
