On Ubuntu (I assume that it's the same on Debian), you can
install all packages needed to be able to compile the gnome
version of Vim with:
$ sudo apt-get build-dep vim-gnome
Even if you managed to compile Vim with GUI, you may still
want to try that in case other features may be silenly turned off.
Also, instead of running "./configure --enable-gui=gnome2",
I recommend to run:
./configure --enable-gui=gnome2 --with-features=big
(or even with --with-features=huge) or else many useful
features won't be enabled (cscope, conceal, etc.).
You can look at ":help +feature-list" to see what features
get enable in vim tiny/small/normal/big/huge.
